XYZZY
Ahh we are back to the Comet are we.
Well, big difference, that was 2000 years ago.
AND:
They fixed the main problem, structural!
MAX has a aerodynamic instability problem that Boeing could easily fix with a tail modification.
Any float pilot knows You have to modify the tail on some aircraft if the floats are sticking out to fare forward when switching from wheel to floats in the summer!
But the Money people demanded a " software fix". Bahh .
Please do not mix basic infancy jetliner development with the Max, even if it does look like similar errors.
The first set the standard for aircraft destructive testing.
The other is criminal ignorance and sets the standard for destructive stress-testing of a large Company.
Lets hope the we do not have to fish a Max out of the Mediterranean the next few years.
