Welcome to IWETHEY!

New If this turns out to be true...
then the 737 Max is a fricking Airbus with a Boeing logo!

Which, I suppose shouldn't really surprise me. After all, Boeing is based in the same country that made billionaire heroes out of all the "tech giant geniuses" and technology is *always* great. Anyone who thinks human skill is worth anything is just an old school Luddite.

It's mourning in America again.
New Boeing has taken responsibility for both crashes now

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New BS
Listen hard to that video.

Basically he is STILL blaming pilots saying MCAS is adding to their workload, not saying its failure is killing people. He is saying if the pilots were faster they'd still be alive.

MCAS Should have 3 sensors. If they disagree, let them vote. If 2 match, use the information. If not, turn system off and alarm the hell out of the cockpit.

This is simple. This is CHEAP. Systems that can kill people should FAILSAFE. Always check the goddamn data!
New That's the part I don't get
They say that it isn't safety critical. Okay, so it doesn't need to be there, that's fine.

But as soon as you put something on the plane that can steer it, it damn well *makes* it safety critical.

New Yeah...
He's scared to death of lawsuits, so he's making mouth noises like he's taking responsibility, but he's not.

Cheers,
Scott.
