FADEC IS A BIGGER KILLER THAN MCAS.
Remember that Airbus ‘demo’ flight at an airshow - the one where the aircraft NEVER pulled up and plowed into the trees?
OH yeah ... man/mankind is fallible.
NYT: “Trump’s Fault!”
Money needs to come out of politics along with rotating door. We all know and recognize the corruption and ramifications. Boeing CEO should be fired if BOD did their job. Bucks always starts and stops at top. Thankfully US finally pulled the Maxxes ability to fly until resolution of investigation. Regulators to cozy.
And the outsourcing of jobs including engineer positions to save money. Boeing wanted to pay people as little as $9 an hour.
And lots of greed and impatience. A whole brand new plane was in the works but they wanted to catch up with Airbus sales faster. So they ‘maximized’ the existing 737 into a monster.
The root of a problem is not failure of regulators. The root if the problem goes back to the designers and users.
Same thing caused the banking crisis of 2007-2010. The Bush appointed head of the FDIC said that he was going to get the regulators off the backs of the community bankers. Of course, by the time it all sorted out, some of the failures were a good bit bigger than community banks.
Re: the dangerous software known as MCAS
After two years of service, it was so dangerous there were zero crashes and zero reported close calls in Europe, in North America, and in the wealthy Asian countries.
It is the fault of the regulator — for making it too expensive for airlines and manufacturers to introduce new models. The Airlines did not want to retrain all their pilots, so they would not accept a new model that the regulators would have required training for. So Boeing had to sneak the new systems in as minimal and not needing training according to the regulators.
The fault is over regulation. Surprise.
Trump was inaugurated at the end of January 2017.
The certify FAA failure was OBAMA'S and we need to make that clear anywhere this story comes up!
The real problem was companies who didn’t adequately train their pilots.
Root cause analysis always coughs when you get to the politicians or political process. Answer to “why” then becomes so and so would not benefit. End of analysis.
