well, luckily we are are at the stage where airlinners don’t crash so often that monthly data would be relevant. So by looking at “few months” (how much is few btw?), we are cherry picking data. Admittedly the sudden spike, specially the last two, could be due to random chance alone.
That said, Fly Dubai and the Amazon 767 nosedived under similar circumstances. And as fsr as I remember some people disputed the official Fly dubai story that the pilot keptnholding the trim button.
in any case, with 3 boeing nosedives officially unexplained yet, the situation is interesting to say the least, mcas or not (and since ET probably happened before flaps up, we might have 3 boings nosediving without mcas, whic is actually even worse, isn‘t it?)
