Listen to what 737 is saying and you may learn something about how systems are designed, how we deal with failures before dispatch and how we deal with failures in flight. This is not Boeing specific. There are many many aircraft out there that are trickier to fly and have been flying for decades than a 737MAX.
Does this all mean that Boeing has nothing to learn from this? of course not but there are lesson here for Lion Air, ET, the FAA and pilots on general. Simplifying this into " the MAX is unsafe and is all Boeing´s fault" means missing many important lessons here.
From a statistical point of view a 737 MAX is way safer than your car, your bike, taking the bus, etc,etc,etc a take it that you are not rushing out to buy a a brand new car every six months so ease up on the hysteria chaps.
I am not saying the MAX is unsafe even in version one.
Just saying it should have had better training, and now will still need better training.
But certification to be called Big Brother is pretty hard to claim without correct training under version 1 & 2 from what details have been released.
