I would like to see where that conclusion is. They criticized the Ethiopian TSB for not looking at the crew’s actions (rightfully so). They still did not assign any human error. Looking at crew actions would have “widened the actionable recommendations”, or something to that effect.

I trust pilots. Pilots have concluded that the MAX is a bad design. I trust the NTSB. They grounded the faulty plane for months. Pinning it on “human error” is disrespectful. And untrue.

“Are we going to have to sell the summer house in Malibu, daddy? No, the one with the playground, not the one with the ponies. Really, daddy”?

The crews had no blame in this and only asshole fanbois (and paid shills) blame them. These pilots had been flying 737 their whole lives and suddenly the airplane is doing something that seemed impossible. A little PostIt note cannot correct that.

The software wasn’t faulty, true. It was just haphazard, was made without redundancy - or worse, the redundancy was to be sold separately. Also, it was made for a faulty design, in order to put big engines on an old airframe that could not support them, then no one was told or trained on either the engines or the…

I’d sit in it once, just cause it’s from a bygone era, and take in its kitschy, mint-green furnishings. I might even turn the engine over and drive around the block - once. 5k is too much for that. ND.

So the button controlled the wing trim? Thanks.

It would be interesting if Ars Technica would respond to this.

MRSA? Boeing has a sick sense of humor.

I’m just glad it was a tree and not a person...

It is not just you.

Yes. Useless. But how about typing the words “Hamas is a terrorist organization”. I wonder if you'd at least agree to that. We can disagree about everything else.

Because they are barbaric and inhuman, of course. We do not do “psychosurgery” anymore, except - maybe, perhaps, probably not - in one or two extreme cases. That guy doesn't even come close to qualifying.

Yea, didn't think so.

I am not talking about anything as inconvenient as protesting. Just acknowledging that Hamas is a terrorist organization. We do not protest ISIS, we all agree they are terrorist scum and need to be eradicated. Right?

QOTD right there.

Even I, a mild-mannered person, would reply that way. What the fuck are you talking about??

Dankeschön!

Hehe I work in Soest ;) Was too young to see Kraftwerk there, though.

I just want fucking peace too. I fear we are in the minority, however.
