Boeing downgraded by Barclays on survey showing flyers will avoid 737 Max
Survey of airline passengers says many people will avoid the 737 Max “for an extended period” once the aircraft is flying again. (www.cnbc.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Three years later and all the doomsayers were wrong, nobody is avoiding the MAX. Choke on it MH370.
Here's some input from the Transportation and Infrastructure committee that sheds some light on the 737 MAX issue. The first that I've seen regarding the initial accident reports from Indonesia and Ethiopia.

To me it sheds no light and is very very biased! "For me, the accident reports reaffirm my belief that pilots trained in the United States would have successfully handled the situation. The reports compound my concerns about quality training standards in other countries." What a pompous remark to make..The US is the only country with quality training??? The first "member" does not state what he flies and squarely blames both accidents as pilot error, while seemingly "protecting" Boeing.
The first member dumb ass also failed to see where both accidents occurred, and I fault Boeing SOLELY on this 1, because it was right from their own words! "The larger 737 variants cannot be used at what are referred to has ‘high and/or hot’ airports” The crashes occurred with those types of craft AT those types of airports! SO, WTH did Boeing sell that aircraft to those airlines KNOWING what airports they fly out of??
All fair points but does pilot error have nothing to do with these crashes? Even though the software was designed to mitigate issues that had a structural basis, the failures were not of the structural kind referred to elsewhere in these posts e.g. wings falling off. Can the point be made that an experienced, well-trained pilot could have avoided the fatal accident? If so, then whatever measures are taken must keep that in mind.
I did not say pilot error may not have been the cause of both accidents. I stated the board member places blame for both accidents squarely on the pilots, and no one else. He does not have the final reports so, as a representative, should not make statements to such. If he had formed an off committee "opinion", that would be a different story, but still biased and pompous making it seem the US is the only place with well-trained pilots.
Also the member should have noted and researched more.."well-trained pilots" did several simulator runs of the Ethiopian crash and did not have a good outcome. So no, the point cannot be made.
I stand by my reply(s)
