My bitch with Boeing is that even the Classic was a revision too far. Can you imagine using 1950s B-707 systems in the 21st century..? And then the NG was a double stretch too far. But then the Max? So these 1950s B-707 systems will still be running a century after they were designed? They are having a laugh, surely.

Your car has brakes, right? A steering wheel? Yet they still rear end someone while texting, right? We've proven a fully automated fly by wire jet can stall from flight level all the way into the ocean while three pilots watch. Lets see what they really find before we say the design is to old, which its not. BTW, I don't think a MAX is a bottom rung airline jet....
