The text in the
actual transcript of the chat circa Feb 2, 2018 (never believe the press blindly, try to cross-check) is:
(Boeing employee A) 03:50:
Honesty is the only way in this job - integrity when lives are on the line on the aircraft and training programs shouldn't be taken with a pinch of salt. Would you put your family on a MAX simulator trained aircraft?
I wouldn't
(Boeing employee B) 03:51:
No
I read this particular statement as an assertion that the MAX would be unsafe due to lousy simulator training. It's also important to understand that this was a chat between colleagues (though Boeing likely made them aware that their conversation was recorded).
