Holy jesus they really worked to get around the regs.

Yep. And then, because theyâd come through so much trouble to make it handle like a 737-800, they didnât go to any effort (training, manual updates, pilot notifications) to let people know what the differences were.

Things have gotten too complicated. This depends on that depends on the other. The whole system is at fault, a system thatâs run amok to reduce costs.
They should have started from scratch with a well-thought-out design. Instead they used band-aids and sticking plasters and duct tape.

Step 1. Stop being lazy and lengthen the landing gear. Put the extra fuselage section (make one up if needed) in with the longer gear bays and cetera.
Step 2. Everyone learns an after-school lesson.
Also, redesign the engine mount. Robert is your fatherâs brother.

Yeah, from what Iâve heard, at that point, it wouldnât really be a 737 anymore. Theyâd be designing a whole new plane, and would need to recertify it as such.
Which, I agree, is probably what they should have done, but it certainly wasnât what they were trying to do.

Get nice benefit, but offload risk to passengers. Thatâs just good business sense.

Assuming none of those mods will lead to other problems, of course.

Itâs just like the swept-wing, transonic DC-3 project. People thought there was a better use for their time.

⌠And it looks like the FAA delegated investigating the safety of the MCAS system back to Boeing.
And that Boeing lied to the FAA about how strongly the system works respond when activated.
This is quickly moving out of âcriminal negligenceâ territory, and staying to look like âreckless homicide.â

Not only is this an audio format I never heard of before, but the âMuppetâ bit at the end was very educational.

As the Lion Air crew fought to control their diving Boeing Co. 737 Max 8, they got help from an unexpected source: an off-duty pilot who happened to be riding in the cockpit. That extra pilot, who was seated in the cockpit jumpseat, correctly diagnosed the problem and told the crew how to disable a malfunctioning flight-control system and save the plane, according to two people familiar with Indonesiaâs investigation.

Ethiopian philosopher Zera Yacob came up with philosophy that prefigured Enlightenment thinkers Hume, Descartes, Locke, Kant, and the US Founding Fathers! [unhâŚ] Once lost to history, now his ideas about God and ethics can be celebrated and learned!
