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.
Again, the software did not fail. The software performed as it was
designed to perform. A software failure would be some programming
error, some coding mistake, that caused the software to do something
other than it was designed to do.
I am sure that problem was fixed in a
couple of days
If it was fixed in a couple days, the second one would not have crashed
six months later.
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.
I would not count on that.
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.
That's all wrong too. It was pure coincidence. This problem,
the AOA sensor failing, only
occurred with two planes on three flights on Lion Air and Ethiopia
flights. It never happened to any other airline, nor is there any
reason to believe the outcomes would have been any different. In fact,
the second crash, the co-pilot with just 200 hours is the one that
correctly followed the Boeing procedure that Boeing put out after
the Lion Air crash to deal with the problem. His last words were
that he could not move the trim wheel.
