lucille?
It takes two hands to clap. Boeing were decidedly dodgy with their minimalist excuse for training. Likewise the operators of the two crashed MAXs were, shall we politely say, not known for their high standards of required minimum crew competence.
In my mind, the blame lies squarely with airline management across the world - they demand new generation aircraft that can be operated by cheap, minimally trained, dumbed down pilots. And that can be maintained by equally clueless and cheap engineers. Boeing (and Airbus) are merely meeting this demand. The travelling public may want low cost, but they don’t realize the price they’re really paying.
Yes, Boeing are meeting this demand - by designing, manufacturing and selling sub standard products that they represented as perfectly safe in the hands of your so called dumbed down pilots and engineers.
Boeing actively discouraged simulator training on the B737 Max! The dumbing down was greatest at Boeing Headquarters in Chicago!
As for Airbus, I wouldn’t compare them to Boeing.
