Every single one of those people was once a baby, learning to take their first steps, under the watchful eyes of a proud parent.
A lot of peoples’ stories got snuffed out unexpectedly this morning. Tragic. RIP |
Another 737-8MAX. Hope it isn’t the same issue as before.
Boeing is gonna have a serious problem to wrangle. Article states unstable and excessive vertical speeds. Sad day indeed. |
FlightRadar says: "vertical speed was unstable after take off."

Not that this is the reason but it’s being reported that the FO had 200 hours. IMO no one with 200 hours should be in a control seat of a transport jet.

Well, designing a system which relies on only one input, and then hiding its functionality was kind of a big problem.

Not defending Boeing’s lack of comm on whatever changed on the max in relation to previous models. But there is a proven, Boeing recommended solution to a runaway trim or stab issue that really hasn’t changed for any of the Boeing models currently flying. Turn off the stab cutout switches. If pilots fail to accomplish that step in their corrective process, then isn’t whether Boeing did a poor job communicating about a system change kind of a red herring?
