Dear Fgrieu

Like many of these alleged “revelations”: from emails, this is , as we see , complete gobbledegook. Makes no sense at all.
Even those that do make sense “we will fight the FAA over not using sims to train for the Max” is perfectly reasonable if you believe it to be true and can show why. I have in the past had to “fight” = argue strenuously with the CAA on issues. That Boeing has dropped the ball corporately is not in question by the way in my view. But it doesn’t mean that the Max once recertified wont go on for another 30:years or more.
