Funny how people use "western" in a way that includes Australians and New Zealanders, who are as far apart in longitude from other "westerners" as possible.
It's almost as if "western" is being used as a substitute for another word.
And fdr has it exactly right, as opposed to the FTFA-fundies who haven't encountered an MCAS failure, even in a sim, but are utterly certain that they and their "western" buddies would have handled it just fine, without even putting down their coffee cups.
