Warren, do you have the paperback "Loud and Clear" by him which incorporates "The Electra Story" in it. I'm lucky to have that and the hardcover of the latter. People will forget about the Max crashes in time and it will go on to be a big seller.

Came back as the Electra II. If you can find it, "The Electra Story", by Rod Serling's brother, Robert. A great read.

Look at the Lockheed Electra. It survived beyond the horrific crashes that were of unknown cause initially. At least with the Max the cause is pretty much known. I'd say it's mostly pilot training and lack of disclosure from Boeing. I met an AA pilot recently. When I asked what he flew he told me 737NGs and the Max, to which I asked him what he thought of the latter. He said he hadn't actually flown one yet. WTF?

Indeed a great milestone.
