GT brought up the race issue in thinly veiled slanderous comments finishing with “my friends at Southwest love the aircraft” and stating that Boeing’s only mistake was assuming that the aircraft would be flown by competent (ie: not brown africans or asian) crews.
Boeing actively discouraged simulator training on the max and sold it as “just your good ol’ B737 that your pappy flew”.
However even that is debatably unsafe since they didnt tell anyone about mcas.
