Last first: the sample is too small to draw any conclusions. As I mentioned yesterday, the vane faults were unrelated - probably - so incredible bad luck.
The thing about the Comet is that no one knew what was happening and it led to an horrific string of events. We learned a great deal about the MAX after the first accident, the previous LionAir flight focussing attention on the probable cause. Sadly, the time to the second tragedy was too small to allow crews worldwide to become
fully aware of the trimming difficulties. What I'm saying I suppose is there wasn't enough learning time.
For the MAX to become Boeing's Comet will depend more on what finally comes out of the darkest recesses of filing cabinets.
