True. You have me on a technicality. Not quite the same as plunging a plane load of passengers from 35K feet. But still, there was a single fatality, and metal was bent.

Dr. Dres penchant for middle management generalizations and cadet scheme love distracted me :p Ethiopian may not be a third world airline. But it sits closer than is comfortable.

What fascinates me is this; Some posters expound on the relative ease with which they would have handled the MCAS failure. Boeing attempted to prove just that. They brought MAX operator pilots into the Sim and gave them multiple attempts to solve the problem. It went badly. Consistently, even with forewarning of what was about to occur. No startle factor. And, they didn’t bring in pilots who were fresh out of a cadet sausage factory.

SRM (and our fictitious Sky God windup man FWRWATPLX2) seen largely unfazed.
