Turn it off and fly the jet manually. . .they did not do that. . .beyond their skill capability. . .if they had any air-sense or judgment. . .and auto-throttles being ignored by the flight crew is downright ignorant and unskilled.
“2,000” hrs? Was that 2,000 hours of the same hour repeated over and over again, and what were their certification qualifications to be rated in the aircraft.
Look, I have no loyalty towards Boeing, worked nearly 10-yrs with them and they are not into building jets that they know will fail. Build a jet that you know will fail is a sure way to get sued out of existence and lose the market. . .no airline wants to buy a jet that fails.
Correct. The pilots for both crashed planes made multiple mistakes.
Thanks for the summary. That’s pretty much what we were hearing from the third day. It was a known problem and they had a work-around but not everybody got the memo.
