Bump and save
There were many “reasons” the 737 was fielded with what now appears to be a fatal flaw. Boeing has to shoulder the biggest blame and they own the internal failures created in both the design and the safety system created to mitigate the design problem.
The FAA appears to be getting far too much of the blame in public. The FAA does not have 1/100th of the engineers that Boeing does so how could they be expected to diagnose something that took the input of hundreds of people behind closed doors? The FAA should not be the patsy. The only solution would be to embed the FAA (government) within a private company (Boeing). Not acceptable unless we want to live in the world brought to life in Atlas Shrugged or Chernobyl.
It is also a stretch to blame Obama for it as Trump would have touted it also and rightfully tried to advance American industry. Could it have had some influence? Certainly. Politics taints many things within our society and one reason as advertised for the flaw in this jet is the more “environmentally friendly engines” that were too large for the aircraft creating the problem in the first place.
Just my respectfully submitted .02.
Anything based off a BS narrative is also BS.
Reporting on 737-8 Max has been gosssley falaciois. In fact, It’s beyond reasonable belief that the inaccuracy in media can be explained by J school putzism, it’s seems more likely liars for hire.
False Precepts:
MCAS is required to make the airplane controlable
Bandaid fix due to corporate greed/Schedule pressure
The pilots cant easily shut off mcas
MCAS was a secret, airlines not informed (see 2017 training mayerial at the link below)
Certification was impropper
Here’s a solid source of information

My opinion: Non US Carriers have high time/low experience crew that spend the bulk of their carriers flying highly automated aircraft. When automation fails they are far less equiped to deal with the issue than guys and gals who spent their first 1500 hours flying cancled checks in questionably maintained piston twins.
Instead of that gold watch, how about a pair of silver bracelets?
obama did all this just for a headline and hundreds died.
