Boeing ‘Misjudged 737 Max Pilot Reactions’
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the introductory paragraph.
Boeing needs to pay more heed to how pilots react to emergencies in its safety assessment of the 737 Max plane, US transport chiefs have said.
That is very true. But worldwide there are thousands of pilots who are certified to fly a 737.
If Boeing had designed the plane correctly, it would be a strength, and a very strong reason, why airlines would buy the plane.
Pilots don’t want to kill anybody! Especially themselves!!” And they tend to be very risk averse!
So how many of those thousands of pilots would trust a 737 MAX?
If one has a serious incident, I’m sure social media will be buzzing.

While not absolving Boeing for the crashes, this article provides a lot of context for the crashes that I hadn’t read about before: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-crashes.html

Thanks for that! I doubt, I’ll fly in a Boeing 737 MAX.
