“Yeah. . .and turning off the MCAS resulted in the third-world “pilots” discovering they can’t fly. . .we’ve flown jets without auto-pilots and AOA indicators since the Wright brothers to today.”
My neighbor is a SW Captain. He flies the Max 800. HIs take on the problem is exactly what you have written. Ditto for the unqualified turds who crashed the Asiana Airlines plane in San Francisco a few year ago. These “pilots,” ( reported to be “Ho Le Fuk, We Too Low, Bang Ding Ow, and Sum Ting Wong) with
“thousands of hours” ( sitting there being flown by the plane’s autopilot for ten hours at a time) were unable to manually fly an approach on a clear day when the ILS was inop. NEVER FLY A FOREIGN FLAG CARRIER from either Asia or the ME!
ME? Emerites Air or Singapore Airlines excepted, of course. . .most all are British pilots.
