The program was a waste of time. As most predicted it just re-hashed the already known info about the MAX that has told many times without spending anytime talking about how those problems were rectified. The previous MAX which suffered these problems has been re-designed to the point that concentrating on the aircraft as it once existed is pointless.
Teary stories with the parents of victims, sim rides showing a system that won't react that way anymore, a travel journo on the panel, trying to whip up fear about how the previous crashes occurred, Liz Hayes' emotive language. To be expected from a 60 Minutes spin off.
TJ said he would have no problems flying on the aircraft now, BB said it's probably the safest aircraft in existence today. But they only spent about 20 seconds out of a 60 minute program talking about the rectifications done to the aircraft. In the end they spent more time asking the opinion of two emotional American parents of crash victims, who have no aviation qualifications, on whether or not the aircraft is now safe than two qualified pilots and an engineer on the panel.
All it did was to make the public ignorant and fearful about an aircraft that essentially doesn't exist anymore. Phrases like "the DISASTER Aircraft is coming to Australia". But that's modern commercial media these days I guess.......
