They were more interested in pushing the views of two unqualified emotional parents, sad as it is, than qualified engineers and pilots on the program. With all due respect how could an unqualified parent give their analysis of the modification done to the MAX? Of course they will be against it. It would have been good to ask that engineer to at least spend a minute or two going through the redesigned system to allay any fears.
Whoops, that would mean bringing educated rational discussion to a format that exists only to attract emotional and fearful viewers.
And it's already started. Comments on social media after that episode slamming Virgin for buying "that deadly aeroplane", "I'll never fly with them again..."
Thanks Dr Dre. The last line of your post is exactly the point I was trying to make in my post #23.
