So yes, how about we all stop blaming everybody who had a hand in these accidents, understand that behind every error there was likely a human factor element, and support those efforts to address and/or remediate those issues?
Totally agree with your post, nicely stated.
I snipped a couple of lines and added bolding.
There are parallel themes of degrading of pilot training to save money and Boeing management pushing for "in family" certification for MAX to save money and market share.
I would posit that neither of these decisions were made by people with hands on experience.
