Why aren’t all 737 Max 8/9’s sitting on the ground until this is resolved?
The airlines flying this junk are listed entities and there is commercial impact.
The regulator is captured to ensure there is no commercial impact.
Wow, so we’ve gone from condemning BB for going off half cocked and prematurely blaming the pilot without all the evidence, to now blaming the plane, the airline and the regulator, without all the evidence.

Tell me Krusty or Rated De, in what exact ways does the Speed Trim System differ on the Max vs the NG?
Why is one safe and the other not?

Or a more simple question, could the pilots at any time use the main electric trim to trim nose up, overriding the STS inputs?
Would the Runaway Stabilizer checklist memory items have alleviated the problem?

I don’t know the answer to all these questions but one ought to before calling for the grounding of a fleet.
