And terrifying complexity. An AMG is scary enough as-is; hand built motor, expensive parts, etc... now you want me to trust a PHEV performance one with a super-high-strung I4 instead of a somewhat lazier V8? Uh.... No?
If they can charge $1000 and still fill the spaces, let them. Not sure how that is controversial. Sitting/parking first class costs money.

Possibly concerns that the damage was to the doors and that retracting the gear might cause even more problems. No interest in flying at the very low speed limit with gear-extended.
The fact they put “737 MAX” in the headline, even though the incident had nothing to do with the plane type, tells you exactly why this article exists.
Was the coyote chasing a roadrunner at the time? Were rocket propelled roller skates a factor?
The problem is, the pilots have no way of knowing just how bad the damage was.
