It is assuming they should have guessed what it took us weeks and thousands of exchanges and documents to determine.
It is sometimes as if what Boeing had assumed was right.
Why still abide by this flawed assumption, when we *know* that no one did even try it in the sim, let alone in flight ?
We do not know that at all. We do know that both Lion Air captains successfully handled the problem. The first actually completed the flight. The second was let down by the first officer who he handed control to.
It is NOT a pilot's
fault if you are put into a position that you are not trained for but had the pilots been trained then they could have flown the aircraft back safely that is Boofhead's point.
