Blaming the pilots is ignorant and stupid.

Boeing LIED to the FAA, LIED TO PILOTS, and put a plane into flight that should never have been certified... and got certified because of their LIES.

Boeing sold a model of this plane that overrode pilot based on a single sensors input. To do this, they committed FRAUD on every level... 300+ people are DEAD... even the reports on this have state, these pilots never stood a chance thanks to what Boeing did.

The only reason this didn’t happen in the US, was pure DUMB LUCK.

“and got certified because of their LIES.”

True, BUT, the FAA did not verify the design of the MCAS and the FAA violated the regulation about certifying the 737 Max as a 737 in the first place since the Max did not fly like a 737, which is why MCAS was designed.

I personally believe the multiple criminal investigations into this issue will find the FAA let themselves be swayed against the rules and Boeing is guilty of doing the illegal influencing.

This was not an innocent accident. It was intentional.

Boeing knew the 737 Max didn’t fly like a 737 and they knew they had changed the MCAS software after design approval. They also knew they did NOT train pilots properly to understand how the MCAS system behaved. In fact, they knowingly lied to pilots about how it behaved. It is also apparent that after the first crash Boeing suspected MCAS was the issue and they said nothing and hoped it would not happen again.

Sadly, the employees are suffering for this executive/management decision. Boeing publicly announced that no employees will receive a bonus for this year. Boeing employees get about 5%-15% of their salary from bonuses. It is also unlikely there will be bonuses next year since the financial numbers will not look favorable going into 2020.

“Blaming the pilots is ignorant and stupid”

True. Even if the pilots were not very experienced, the MCAS system was confusing and was the only factor in why the plane pitched nose down and crashed. The pilots didn’t command the plane to be nose down, MCAS did.
