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.

Airbus had plenty of fly-by-wire problems.
Two I can think of right now.
Chief test pilot demonstrating a new model, maiden flight. He makes a low pass over the runway, can’t pull up, crashes in the trees at the end of the runway.
He was blamed but after the dust settled it was determined a flaw in the computer.

The Air France across the S. Atlantic. Apparently the AOA or pitot tube froze up. The computer goes crazy , the pilots are at a loss as to what to do and down it goes.

Did Boeing take note of those incidents(and others)? Apparently not.
I’m a disillusioned Boeing lover guy.
And the icing on the cake. The CEO still has his job!
