Not good for Boeing. CNN banner headline pointing out the similarities to lionair. Pretty much saying fatal flaw in the MAX.

Not insulting at all. You actually proved their point with your own ignorance.

And as of today zero aircraft have crashed where the investigation found MCAS to be causal.

CNN is pretty much calling it two. Right or wrong, it's out there now.

To be fair, there is no definitive accident report that has been published confirming MCAS is to blame or was a contributing factor, but the Malaysian MAX-8 that crashed had been written up multiple times for trim issues and crashed 13 minutes after takeoff following radical pitch and altitude changes. The Ethiopian jet crashed 6 minutes after takeoff following similar deviations. Of course it's too early to say what happened, but the similarities in equipment type and flight path leading up to the accident are enough to question if MCAS is creating more problems than it is solving.

So CNN is an aircraft accident investigation authority?

That's not what I said. I said Boeing has a big problem now.

Most of the public has never heard of the NTSB. But they'll believe CNN...

Congressional or other political pressure will come to bear on the FAA before the NTSB team lands in Africa.

Of course not, because the investigations are ongoing. That doesn't mean it's too early to raise suspicions. If it really takes an accident report (two accident reports now) for you to doubt the safety of MCAS or be extra cautious the next time you fly a MAX, then it's your own ignorance that should be concerning.

Most kids out of flight school were screaming bloody murder if they had to actually instruct or lift a finger to help themselves, for quite some time. Now they're screaming like their throats are cut because they need 1,500 hours.

It was very typical for a number of years. Regionals were THE entry level job.

No, of course not, because speculation and guesswork is always far more professional.

So... not screaming very loud?

The last 4 flights of the Lion Air jet had AOA issues. That isn't speculation or guesswork, but hey, glib jabs on the internet that ignore facts are the mark of a true professional, right?
