At one time, Boeing knew how to build airplanes.

When engineers ran the company - before the bean counters took over.
Capitalism at it's best today.

There is nothing wrong with the plane, they have a software problem.
It isn't the bean counters, it is those kids in sneakers who are
writing the bugware.

BTW a number of pilots have said if you know how to turn off the MCAS
(put in a little flap), you just land the plane and everyone makes
their connection.

Now you sound like Trump who blames everyone else.
Boing make the plane so the buck stops at Boing.

Just trying to put the blame where it belongs. It wasn't the air frame
that failed, just the software. I am sure that problem was fixed in a
couple of days and now they have been picking that plane apart piece
by piece for a year and when they finally say OK, it will be the
safest plane in the air.
In fact better pilots were not having the problem with it in the first
place. It is no coincidence that the crashes were 3d world airlines
and mediocre pilots with minimal flight hours compared to your average
1st world airline pilot.
