Air France killed how many with their frozen pitot tubes.....how long was the A330 grounded? Yeah....
No equipment fault. Pilots to blame. They couldn't recognize the stall. No other accident like that in this type.
The 787 was grounded for 3 months....and that thing was catching fire.
The battery issue, not an aircraft system, rather a component. Kinda different story.
The Concorde was grounded 16 months and the reason it crashed was due to FOD.
Much more complex than FOD. Would you catch on fire and explode within seconds after running over a piece of junk? Actual speed and the location and reinforcement of the fuel tanks were the issue. That's a serious structural problem. It's part of the reason it was terminated.
Did Boeing mess up with the software? Sure. With thousands of hours of data between SWA, UAL, and AA....no issues were detected.
Many people who know way more than me admit that the only reason we didn't have an accident here in the US was pure luck. They did simulations at the FAA and all the airlines affected, and the percentage of recovery was really low (less than 10%). That's in the sim, mostly LCAs and experienced crews, knowing exactly what's coming, still unable to recover.
How many would have died if the pilots had....followed the checklist? It’s kinda there for a reason.
They followed the checklist, at least the second accident.
I’ve flown it....I’d fly it tomorrow. I’d put my family on it tomorrow.
Yes, we all flew it and it flew well. I liked it and never had a problem. If you put your arogance aside and talk to people who understand and know way more about it than us, the line pilots, you may see it in different light. The fact that you'd put your family on it doesn't prove the MAX is a safe. All it proves is your opinion. Let the people who understand the problem deal with it. Yes, we are all being negatively affected by it. I'd love to see it back on the line tomorrow. Yet, despite dramatic efforts and massive amounts of money and manpower, they are struggling to put it together. The puzzle is complex and it needs time. I don't doubt they'll figure it out and it will be a safe airplane once the process is over.
