it was this theory of commercial trumps engineering nerds that created the reliance on the single AoA, poor training, poor certification docs etc etc in the first place, and killed 300+ people. The re-learnt lesson at B should be "listen to the engineering nerds and if they say no it means no".
"no means no" = $ vs $$$$$$
who won?
As rick stated, Boeing, has for years, treated the engineers as flotsam and jetsam...look at the results, the latest aircraft are crap...the existing 773 is a passenger nightmare, center overheads, tail wagging like a dog in turbulence...absolutely worst handling in turbulence I have flown
in reality, another over extended pax nightmare..cant wait for the even longer MAX and 777X...
flew the 321neo 2 days ago, sooo quiet, big seats, and lots of space....
Boeing is out of hand with extending old variants. Especially knee jerk variants.
