AF447 was 10 years ago. there are literally thousands upon thousands of these things in operation every hour of every day; if it was a defective design, planes would be crashing twice a day.

Airbus had a very aggressive pitot tube replacement program after AF447.

There was only one crash, AF447, but many reports of erratic air speed indications in A330/A340 aircraft.

We don't know yet if there have been any other reports of erratic airspeed indications on other B737 Max aircraft.

gotcha. I am supremely confident that boeing, the NTSB, the FAA, several hundred international airline safety organizations, hundreds of airlines, assorted independent maintenance organizations, innumerable pilot and airline workers unions, and the OEM of the piece of equipment are all 100% cool with dangerous gear in commercial airliners for a damn decade.

I’m sure that could happen.
