And as for the B737MAX, as the pilot of the aircraft Bali-Djakarta (evening before the Lionair loss) demonstrated, actioning the "Uncommanded Stab Trim" recall item in a timely fashion solved the problem.
So are you suggesting that the FAA EASA and all the other aviation regulatory authorities have over reacted to the Stab Trim issue? Do you think that the grounding of the MAX into next year is just a global conspiracy against a design that only a select few of truly brilliant aviation minds understand? You probably think that the pilots of the Comet should have done a more thorough walk around.
