Exactly. It is almost hilarious the type of spin that happens on FR. some FReepers are willing to totally give Boeing a pass, and to put all the blame on the pilots. Thing is - even if the pilots were grade school dropouts (they were not, but lets assume they were absolutely incompetent - absolutely), and lets assume ANY pilot with anything more sophisticated than a PPL license for flying small personal planes could fix the issues with the 737 Max (and do so half asleep and blindfolded), it would
still remain that the 737 Max had bad systems that put human lives in danger. Just because I got some training years ago on how to handle a spinning car doesnt mean that I would be OK driving a vehicle that, at a randomly appointed time, can suddenly whip its tail around and try to do a pirouette on the freeway! Even though I can fix the issue 10 times out of 10 I would call that a sh!((y car.
But hey, nothing wrong with the 737 Max. Not one thing.
One more thing - if this was an Airbus doing this I am certain the same FReepers would be slamming AB for selling bad planes ...
I am half thinking of looking up threads on that Air France Airbus plane that took a dive over the Atlantic to see if any of the FReepers posted there, and what those posts were.
