I am a “Boeing Guy.” I have flown 7 different types* of Boeing airplanes for thousands of hours. But, I can’t forgive the company for not being forthright in their giving the proper and full information about the trim system and its operation in flight. Yes, the pilots were inexperienced but, if they had a clue as to what was happening, two accidents, killing hundreds of people, would not have happened. The most damning quote was from a Boeing spokesman who said, We did not tell the pilots about the MCAS system because they have a lot to learn and we didn’t want to overload them. (note: not an exact quote but paraphrasing)
PS Avoid flying 2nd or 3rd World Airlines. Experience is lacking. Do so at your own peril.
* B-52, B-727, B-737, B-747, B-757, B-767, B-777.
“We did not tell the pilots about the MCAS system”
Yet, Boeing claimed MCAS was part of the training all along. They lied.
good points
