Have to wonder why all 737 Max 8's have not been grounded.

Boeing announced overnight that the company would release a software update for its 737 Max planes “no later” than next month. The announcement, which was posted to Boeing’s website, calls the software release an “enhancement” and explains that it’s related to the October crash of Lion Air Flight 610 which killed 189 people. Sunday’s crash that killed 157 in Ethiopia is only mentioned in passing.

My guess is a training issue. It has been made public that the auto on the Max 8's reacts a certain way.

It's between training and ops, there was some kind of disconnect. It might just be non-English training, also, since it hasn't been an issue with domestic. But I'm not taking my chances.

Wonder if dumb dumb realizes how automated AF1 is, especially considering the defensive countermeasures. That’s hilarious.

What a retard the POTUS is. Boeing CEO has to call him and tell him to STFU. smh

"Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better," Trump tweeted.

"Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don't know about you, but I don't want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!" he added.

As usual .....you missed my intent. It was not underlined and bolded for that reason. I would never question your usage. You are good at that......but.....not much else.
