Second new 737-Max to crash in five months, both in seemingly similar circumstances after take-off. Some serious questions raised by this recent article:
Behind the Lion Air Crash, a Trail of Decisions Kept Pilots in the Dark
It seems Boeing rushed this aircraft out to compete with the new generation Airbus 320. One of Boeing's selling points to the airlines was that no pilot retraining would be required, even though there were some fundamental changes to the flight control system, and there was a risk that pilots could stall the plane in certain conditions.
Was it not the A321 NEO they were competing with Monty?
TransAtlantic to the US East Coast small market destinations.
I see the CAA have pulled the trigger!
Not good for FR with delivery’s due in May
Monty, on mature reflection the Boeing 737-Max 10 was the main competitor for the A321Neo.
Airbus had some problems with their latest fly by wire systems back in the day.
Rest assured these issues will be sorted by Boeing, too much at stake not to.
Sometimes I feel manufactures push the boundaries too far to gain a competitive advantage.
