I watched with disgust the whole DEI fiasco of blaming Boeing for inept pilot training... Piloting is not like driving a bus, but apparently that is a training they got.
I don’t get it with this Soviet-style do or die loyalty to Boeing - must be a generational thing. (If this happened on a US plane, I bet the godless gaslighting would still stand. And several close calls and safety issues have indeed been an issue with American fleets of late as well.)
Even the most ardent and patriotic enthusiasts can acknowledge the corporation has gotten totally corrupt and dismal in recent decades, not to mention fully embedded within the stench-filled bowels of the Deep State.
The MCAS software used to operate the MAX was made to offset an inherently flawed (and rushed) design. The planes were then sent (also rushed) out to airlines globally without the software being properly fleshed out either in manuals or by simulation.
“ Boeing chose to alter an existing airframe rather than develop a new model, leading to complex aerodynamic adjustments that required the addition of MCAS in the first place.”
