Registered and read it.
It is a fantastic article and I think anyone interested must read it.

I now fly to city games in Airbus 319s or 320s.
For years it was a 737 stretched 200 etc.

I often wondered why the 737 air intakes were oval. Looked cool but now I know the reason.

MCAS a cheap way to prevent a stall when the pilots punch it.
WOW !

The elevator feel computer.
This basically exhausted the poor pilots.
WOW!

The Max line of 737s are flawed and not airworthy controlled by safety software that makes them crash. Boeing intend to leave them unairworthy and rewrite the software.

As a former computer programmer I think the MCAS computer put the planes controls in a subroutine that made the plane crash. A subroutine from which the pilots could not escape.

Tragic and a ****ing scandal that must be exposed. This might be the end of Boeing let alone the Max 8.
The plane is shite.
