Ethiopian 737 MAX 8 crash

But driving to the airport, showering, crossing the street, eating a burger ... are safer than climbing into a 737?

IDK, how many hours do most Lieutenants have when they finally hit the line? ETH training really isn’t much different. They just don’t do the extra fancy stuff like LAPES and the like.

But, it's not accurate to say they added a system that can fail catastrophically. They didn't. That's my the point. MCAS has no more potential for "catastrophic consequences" than the basic stab trim system or autopilot control on a 737-200 in 1967. Any of those systems can malfunction and the results of an IMPROPERLY handled malfunction would be the same. Boeing's not going to add "If the failure is determined to be MCAS, then blah, blah, blah........ to the Runaway Stabilizer procedures because it doesn't matter. The symptoms and solution of some kind of MCAS failure are basically the same as any other stab related malfunction. A pilot wouldn't need to know why his aircraft was pitching down uncommanded - just that it is and there are long established, proven procedures that he's supposed to follow.
I think you need to look up the word "indictment" because you seem to be making my use of it much more than it means in this case.
All I'm saying is that multiple write ups on a trim system over multiple flights followed by what appears to be a trim related crash looks a lot worse for that airline's maintenance practices than the aircraft manufacturer.

Not sure that’s an accurate statement. Brand new aircraft are usually followed with warranties and support. My experience overseas is that customers will use everything that they are entitled to.

Your point is not clear, try again. Mine had nothing to do with warranties or support. I don't care who was actually doing the maintenance on the aircraft - only that WHOEVER that was appears to have failed on multiple occasions to diagnose and correct the problem.

Dude, scroll up. You placed onus on the airline’s practices and not the manufacturer. There was no provision your statement for maintenance performed by the manufacturers tech reps. Is that incorrect?
