Thanks for the readable text...
My wife and I own a home on a small airport South East of Seattle. We just love airplanes and flying. Many if not most of our neighbors are professional pilots. I talked to a few about this when it happened. They were all shocked at the misinformation being pedaled by the media at the time and repeated here by people who had no clue.
And so with this documentary and this article about it... the parade of nonsense continues and I do not have the energy to refute it point by point. Every Boeing pilot that I spoke to was well aware of the eccentricities MCAS system long before the crashes happened. They said that they knew exactly what to do to correct a failure instantly. They were baffled that the 3rd world pilots who augured two good airplanes into the ground and killed all aboard were not the ones being blamed. They get the big bucks to keep their airplanes in the air.
This is not unlike small airplane crashes caused completely by pilot error that law firms specializing in these types of mishaps used to bankrupt the small aircraft manufacturing industry. Small aircraft like the ones that we own cost several times more than what they would because of liability insurance. That is why one of our planes is 50 years old and the other was homemade.
This article is not about the true situation... it is about a line being pedaled by lawyers that resonates with people to ensure that they, not the families of the people who died will reap billion dollar rewards. Boeing, which has been run by woke idiots for years now, still has the best safety record of any airplane manufacturer in the history of the world. They are a large part of the reason that you are more likely to be killed driving to the airport than you are while flying to your destination. Bankrupting them with this ludicrous nonsense will not make anyone any safer and will result in tens of thousands of people losing their jobs.
