You feel very passionate about this topic. In which case, you should bid off of it if you haven’t done so already
Did 12-to-life on the bus at NK, now on the 737. Flew the bus like it was a Boeing, AP/AT/FD off whenever I could, both for T/O & LND. Hate the non moving stick/thrust lever. A should definitely have done better with that aspect of the design. But the 737 not getting EICAS with the NG (LG?) was a huge mistake by B. The FAA letting B certify the MAX without it was a huge mistake from the FAA. And the current situation where the 7 & 10 can't fly is the direct result of that mistake by B 30 years ago.
And I am sure the
ACA is lobbying in favor to resolve any problems the FAA has with the 737
