So you want to rewrite history
I'm afraid you are the one attempting to rewrite history.
The fleet was grounded and they admit to finding atleast 3 more jackscrews on their way out
The fleet was never grounded. Alaska commenced voluntary inspections of the jackscrew on the 9th Feb, following advice from the NTSB that the jackscrew had been recovered from the ocean in a damaged condition. The inspections were complete by the following day, with two other aircraft found to have discrepancies. These two were the only ones grounded.
pilots started taking notice, and hence, no more crashes
No more crashes had nothing to do with the pilots, rather the maintenance deficiencies were rectified.

A word of advice. You are welcomed by one and all to make contributions. Just cease making out to be something that you are not. You are not a pilot, so please stop pretending you are one.

And cease telling professional aviators that they know not what they are talking about - especially in the derisive, language you are so fond of using. I refer to your contributions on subjects such as derate, flex, runway performance, implications of V1 etc etc in particular.

If you are out to log the record as the poster with the most aliases and bannings, please continue on your merry way.
