Another Boeing 737 Max-8 crash

By willingly getting on that airplane (eg. flying Air Ether-nopia), with the knowledge that whoever’s flying, was driving a school bus two years ago, you also earn a man card.

 

Now that’s a man-card that we’ll deserved!

 

Even the ones in service and then grounded can be flown on a ferry permit. No non-essential personnel.

 

So that brings up an interesting point....

A while back folks were saying that even when the problem issue happens, it can be corrected by pulling this that or the other fuse or doing XYZ to counteract the MCAS problem and keep the plane flying.

Is that STILL the school of thought, or is it possible that even a pilot who is aware of the issue and what it is, could still potentially lose control of the plane and have it crash on them (pre-software fix).

 

Pilots are definitely capable of crashing perfectly good airplanes. Happens everyday.
At the flying for a major airline level it’s not supposed to happen, but occasionally even they have Metalhead Moments.

 

Keep in mind, the MCAS problem had been encountered by US pilots as well. Like you described, they just turned it off. The foreign pilots were not as well trained and to reliant on the automated systems.

 

Those guys need any retired air bossoff a CVN to optimize that parking !

 

It’s only unsafe for inexperienced pilots.

 

He has credentials

 

I dont really have a dog in this hunt, but from what ive read about his career and experience he actual does have a pretty impressive list of aviation safety credentials. From the Air Force and civilian accident investigations.

Unless these things start following out of the sky on a regular basis, after they are fixed, I will be happy to fly on them.

 

I wanted it not to be true but it looks like sully is typed in a 737 so he was at one time or is familiar with Boeing systems.

 

You crash one airplane and now you're an expert on everything.

I've met Sully and he is as awful as many of you are guessing he is.

Tammie Shults should be everyone's aviation hero. She is the one who was flying that Southwest 737 last year when an engine had an uncontained failure. She has been the consummate professional.

 

It pains me to say it about any Academy grad but his ascension to aviation deity has been beyond amusing.

 

He flew old generation 737’s. Whole different airplane..

 

Heard an interview last week, he was working on the sim with the new fixes and found new problems during sim tests
