I agree the training was lacking but it seems the 3d world airlines
had all the trouble, in spite of flying the max a fraction of what
airlines like Southwest were flying.

Which again is totally unfair.* The AOA sensors only failed on two
aircraft, LionAir and Ethiopian Air.

That is certainly what lead to two crashes but I haven't really heard
anyone say those were the only two AOA sensor failures.


I had the impression there were other failures but for competent pilots
it was just another day on the job.

I'll bet it scared the heck out of even the "competent" ones when it
first happened - - -


There's that old saw something about hours of boredom with the odd seconds of terror. I used to fly in the '80s but the boredom got to me and in my heart of hearts I didn't think i was capable of doing the right thing in the seconds of terror.


Flying is easy until **** starts breaking.
Like the old saying - the prop is just a fan to keep the pilot cool.
Just watch him start to sweat when the prop stops - - - -
