Great.. an important article and it wants us to subscribe to the WSJ before we can see it.. please someone tell us in there own words what was said.. or stop posting stories that require us to pay for a subsciption.
talk about going after the entirely wrong folks at boeing. Did this guy do any thing other than tell his superiors bits and pieces about what they subtly indicated they wanted to hear- the party line. And a few federal regulators as well. To be in the dock alone, when all the board, all the execs and consultants also belong, is an outrage. He shaded the facts, maybe, a bit, a company loyalist now facing silly charges. The regulators ought to hve been able to deduce the system failures and weaknesses on their own, and and being somewhat less than competent, they didn't. And now they seem to want to shift some blame on a former boeing company pilot, also seeking to establish a future corps of whistleblowers. He flew the damn plane. He didn't design it. He was not an MCAS engineer, He didn't paint the aircraft. He just flew it within a testing syllabus. If there were things wrong, and there positively were wrong, this pilot was in jeopardy of crashing any max he flew. Read the test results and use what little intelligence you possess and interpret those results, and let the pilot alone. unbelievable....
He (mis)represented the information to the FAA, it was his signature, so he needs to be held accountable. Now, should he be the only person held accountable? Of course not!
How true that is and the media TV doc are so dumb about it. Little was ever put about Airbus computer problems which took more lives, took more time to get fixed than the 787 deal did. The same type of faiure occured on AB aircraft also freezing of the vane and caused several crashes too taking at least the same number of lives. But again the medica cannot get enough of telling about it.
Whataboutism at its worst. Every issue needs to be explored and understood on its own merits. Boeing's MCAS design appears to have been primarily motivated to avoid incurring a potential $1M per plane penalty on its huge Southwest MAX contract. It appears to be a uniquely reckless act in the history of modern commercial aviation and deserves the extra scrutiny.
Airbus accidents are never due to the design of the aircraft but to the poor reaction of the pilots to the incident. That's why Airbuses are the safest aircraft in the world and are therefore never grounded.
