You’re entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. You constantly attack others for “comprehension problems” yet you play on your own words all day long. Most people have acknowledged that the MAX crashes go beyond just pilot error and a “failure of the crew to control their airplane.”

We’ll see what the world decides once the MAX is cleared to fly. You said that the “grounding had more to do with politics reasons than safety reasons.” That again would be your opinion. I’d say the FAA kept it going as long as they did because of political pressure as opposed to the other way around. It was only after pretty much every other regulator authority grounded the plane that the FAA did so. But they did so to save face, and not be the only country still flying these planes. Of course they claim they were the first to do so after studying data, whereas other countries didn’t and just grounded it on the basis that 2 MAX jets plummeted into the ground shortly after takeoff.

Grounding the plane was the right decision. The FAA has lost credibility to the rest of the world as a pillar and leader of aviation safety.
You are so far out of your league in this back and forth that it's almost painful. You can't even quote him correctly.

Your reading skills need to seriously improve if you want to tangle with this kind of animal. He deserves an immense amount of credit for not insulting you more.

He keeps hitting the nail on the head with a hammer, while you keep hitting the nail on the side with your screwdriver.

You see, hammers were made to hammer nails. Pilots were made to fly airplanes.

You aren't hammering the nail with a hammer, much like these pilots didn't fly the airplane.

Good luck with your screwdriver.
