Southwest removes Boeing 737 Max from flight schedule through early August as grounding persists
Southwest Airlines has removed the Boeing 737 Max jet from its schedule through Aug. 5, a key summer travel period. It’s unclear how many Southwest flights will be canceled as a result. Southwest suspended all 34 of its Max jets from its fleet of more than 750 Boeing 737 models after the Max’s anti-stall software was implicated in an Ethiopian crash in March that killed 157 people (www.cnbc.com) 기타...

This pretty well nails it: https://spectrum.ieee.org/aerospace/aviation/how-the-boeing-737-max-disaster-looks-to-a-software-developer
Excellent article! As a software developer myself, I've had a lot of the same questions that the author mentions.

"gain, pitch + power = performance. Airspeed indicator failure and stick pusher be damned. Those are bandaids for sub par pilots who grew up playing video games and clueless as to how to fly a wounded bird".
recognize this, you said it a couple of days ago, and if accidentally doing the right thing is following the checklist for a stab trim runaway then I question your thought process for what is going on here, especially as a purported ATP. The reality that the engagement of the auto throttles question has not really been addressed in either scenario and the fact that they both hit the dirt at over 400 knts. might beg the question of why weren't the throttles at idle. Manual stab trim will not overcome aerodynamic forces for which they were not designed to address.

Unless the speed was selected at 400 knots (unlikely) wouldn't the throttles be at idle anyways?
If they didn't recognize a stab trim runaway as the core problem, and were completely lost on what was going on, the throttles would have been at idle, yet they wrern't, ergo behind the airplane the whole way. JMHO
So auto thrust was not engaged? Strange they were not at idle...
Unless they turned it off..I see what you mean
Sadly, there was not enough left to tell, except for the ads-b data and the cvr-dvr data that I have not yet seen. As a FEDEX guy, how can you hit the dirt at 400 knts. with the throttles at idle? I can't comprehend it, yet here we are.
