The "most recent total loss of the Boeing 737 in Asia" has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. If you've read the most recent reports it is obvious that this is a maintenance / flight crew issue. Maintenance didn't fix the autothrottle problem and the flight crew couldn't/didn't handle a very simple problem which kind of negates maintenance not fixing the problem. The thrust lever moved towards idle and the engine wound down. Apparently neither pilot was paying attention. To associate this accident with the MAX problems is disingenuous. I'm now retired with over 25,000 hours and flew both the 737, all models from the 100 to the 700, as well as the 767 and the A320. I'd gladly go out and fly and unmodified 737 MAX this afternoon over an A320.I also happen to agree that a fuel tank molded into the side of the fuselage doesn't sound like a great idea. Its a relatively fragile area on any airplane. It will be interesting to see what EASA has to say.
Exactly Samuel. However the procedure to turn off the autotrim system is indeed necessary and is not because of "poor design". Except for the MCAS system the autotrim system is designed to be able to be turned off in the event of runaway trim. Absolutely necessary and some variant of the system is on every commercial airliner I can thing of - certainly on all Boeing aircraft. As you stated a well trained pilot would have known to turn the system off which did occur on the flight prior to the aircraft crashing.
Not arrogance.... experience. It's hard to read so much of the BS here that it becomes rather infuriating. What's the old saying? It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. Mark Twain
Well I'm a retired pilot with over 24,000 hours with nearly 10,000 on 737 variants. I would fly the Max anytime, anywhere. With all of the scrutiny the Max is now the safest airplane in the world.
