“There is a simple resolution to the MAAX problem. Get rid of the FADEC system and take control of the engines away from Pratt & Whitney and give engine control back to the pilots.”

Saying that tells me you rally don’t understand the problem at all. This has nothing to do with the engine controls.

Yep, it is the MCAS which erroneously overrode the pilots’ controls and flew the plane into the ground even because it believed the aircraft was at or near stalling.

Agree. "This has nothing to do with the engine controls."

In the many previous threads on the Max crashes & grounding someone bet on the Max flying again before the new year, I think someone named Megan wins that one.

We've suffered countless arguments about poorly trained foreign pilots, and poorly paid foreign engineers. Firing the CEO after all this time might indicate they finally realize top management is responsible for the work environment they create.

I’m not in aviation but am truly curious about the actual 737 MAX problem(s).

What is your opinion of 737 MAX.
