The coverup was complete when Boing elected to not put any technical information in the manuals about this system despite the concerns voiced stating that it could be potentially catastrophic if MCAS malfunctioned and wasn’t dealt with appropriately. Boeing have now done what they should have done originally, for the lives lost Boeing should take responsibility, the Max will more than likely go on to be very successful but it’s name is forever tarnished and the media will always dramatise things. To be honest I won’t be flying on one for a few years, I just don’t trust Boeing and the FAA, there was a lot of commercial pressure to get this aircraft back in the air, it may prove to be a very successful aircraft but I for one will not be putting my family on one for a couple of years. That is the beauty of choice.
Good morning Ollie.
I, like you couldn't care less what happens to the Boeing managers who made a conscious decision to hide the faults of the MAX aircraft. They can rot in hell as far as i am concerned.
But can I ask you to take a momentary leap of faith and assume the aircraft are now safe to fly.
Airlines are ordering and have ordered this aircraft.
The aviation industry is going through enough of a clusterF##k with airlines around the world trying their hardest to get back on their feet.
The last thing they need is crap stories like this presented by imbeciles scaring passengers away and taking their flying dollars with them.
As I said if the aircraft is not up to snuff then by all means call it out, I have no problem with that. There is no doubt it has had dire shortcomings in the past.
I just want to see as many airlines and their employees back to as near normal, what ever normal is these days, as quickly as possible.
Anyway I think I just heard the Easter bunny at the back door so time for a choccy egg or two.
Fly safe and plan hard.
Happy Easter to all.
