    Booked a flight from Krakow to London Luton which seems to switch between 737-800s and max so I guess I got an extra roulette if I'm going to die or not. The airline is Buzz which is a Polish subsidiary of Ryanair, which sounds fricking disgusting but the flight time and destination (i.e. not the other London airports) were literally perfect for me. At least I can take comfort that they have to follow first world EU standards and the crew will be white

    Turns out when you let woefully inexperienced pilots from foreign countries with shoddy airline maintenance records fly complex modern airliners there's a good chance something bad will happen. Who knew!

    Oh yeah don't even think about the fact that the first country to call for the grounding of Boeing's newest plane was China, who happened to be in an intense trade war with the US at the time and was premiering their own ripoff airliner. Nothing to see here!

    Actually completely blows my mind how the public narrative around a fricking airplane somehow got all the way to "it's Trump's fault!!!!"

            stupid statement. for every air accident that has ever happened regardless of cause there have been thousands of flights made by the same aircraft type that have not crashed, even if the aircraft design has been proven to be faulty. there were thousands of flights made by concorde without incident, before the one fatal crash that basically grounded the plane forever.
            >Tell me, in the standard procedures that have been published since the 1960s, what does it say to do in the event of a trim runaway?
            interesting attempt to assert your own authority. why would i know? i'm not a pilot. but i am a systems analyst with some experience in disaster analysis and recovery. so i am used to reading reports like the one published by the faa https://www.faa.gov/foia/electronic_reading_room/boeing_reading_room/media/737_RTS_Summary.pdf
            why not have a read of it yourself? it's pretty interesting reading for anyone interested in the causes of aviation disasters.
            and stop having such a hard on for fricking boeing. they fricked up in this case and hundred of people died. they were forced to make countless changes to their design, paid out hundreds of millions in compensation and fines, and tarnished their reputation forever.

                No my man, if you don't understand the flight recorder data then you just don't have an informed point of view. It's honestly pretty simple:

                - There have been standard procedures for a trim runaway published for over half a century
                - The pilots did not follow them

                If you were merging onto the highway and one of your tires popped, would you keep pressing the gas pedal and then crash and cry that it was the fault of whoever manufactured your car? Oh and then wouldn't it be interesting if a completely unrelated third party who happened to be manufacturing a direct competitor to the car you were driving started calling for the global boycott of that car? Really jogs the ol' noggin...

                fortunately there are experts who can do that for me, and compile their findings into reports that i can read, so i can have an informed point of view. those experts say that boeing fricked up. boeing basically admitted it. as an independent observer i can question their findings but really the point is moot. the faa grounded the aircraft and boeing modified it before it caused any more accidents and that is the aircraft that passengers nervously board today. i suspect it will be quite a short lived variant compared to other 737 variants.

                The flight recorder data isn't hard to understand unless you're moronic. At least in the Ethiopian flight, the pilots should have followed protocol and disingaged autopilot AND autothrottle [instead of leaving the throttle at takeoff setting] so the plane didn't end up overspeeding at low altitude, exerting high aerodynamic forces on the control surfaces which made the controls in the wienerpit very hard to move. Boeing has even had an emergency "porpoise" procedure published for decades which would have helped them in this exact situation. After disengaging autopilot and autothrottle, they should have hit the "stab trim cutout" switches in the center pedestal which would have completely disconnected MCAS.

                I bet you also believe the mainstream narrative that says "right after takeoff the plane just went into a nosedive!!!"

                Anonymous

                I just don't see the side of it where Boeing deserves to be completely roasted for the MAX crashes. Should they have had MCAS running on a single angle of attack sensor? Maybe not but it's genuinely hard to say; the procedures for an angle of attack disagreement and a trim runaway have been the same for decades, regardless of MCAS, and countless well trained pilots have implemented them successfully in that time.

                People love to point to the FAA and say "see, they penalized Boeing for lots of money!!!" but they fail to connect the dots - Boeing gets shit tons of money from the federal government and is propped up out of necessity due to its relationship with the military. Any "penalty" money that Boeing paid to the government partially already came from the government, and will be returned to them inevitably through more federal deals. It's all a smoke and mirrors show for plebs who want to argue over the garbage hot takes coming from Vox and Vice and CNN.

                Right, I dont have the expertise to really assess or argue what you're saying. I'm just noting from my layman's perspective, the likelihood of pilot error contributing to the two crashes seems EXTREMELY high. However that doesn't excuse Boeing from whatever heat they receive as a result of incidental revelations that their conduct was sketchy in the production and certification of the Max. They still deserve shit for that

              "Reading reports" definitely doesn't entitle you to preach any sort of expertise, it only gives you broad insight into the topic. You're probably arguing with a commercial airline pilot who has thousands of hours of real world training and actual understanding of the complex factors at play regarding flight safety.

              Btw the Concorde didn't fail purely because of that single freak accident (which wasn't even its fault). There were multiple compounding factors like overall profitablity and the general publics perception of supersonic flight (noise pollution). That crash just gave Air France and BA a reason the axe the program with peoples emotional support which is always the case with crashes. If an airframe was grounded after a single crash there would be virtually no airliners in the sky right now

    As long as your pilots are well trained and mentally stable, you're going to be fine, AKA fly on a western airline. There are systems to stop catastrophic failures that good pilots train to do, in a timely manner.
