Airplanes do not murder people. Like guns, It all depends on who's in control. In the case of the Max, The stab trim switch was the trigger.

This will NOT hurt my Boeing stock. I hope that more carriers will see the advantages of the Max80 and make the move away from Airbus. I'm also encouraged by the F15EX deals.

I'm sorry, but this was probably the most entertainment the passengers have had in a long time. Your sour grapes are showing, WK77. The jet pack driver is my hero.

I was at the hanger at GSW (Amon Carter Apt. in FT. Worth) When the first A.A. 727-100 arrived. At the time, I was just finishing selling the simulator to the F.A.A. This was American Airlines first digital simulator, and mine as well. I really loved that airplane and believe that it would still be around if it had a two member cockpit instead of Three.

This man, Harris, is not a conservative. He is a bleeding heart, self centered, bombast. If you seek an Asshole, look no further than David J. Harris.

The FAA has been going downhill for a long time (see entropy). Even in the 1990's,I had to teach FAA Simulator re-certification people how to fly a stall series. Had I not done so would have meant no certificate. Bureaucrats, no matter what field of endeavor, are normally under-qualified for their position. The fact that the Max 80 flew for 2 years without a loss of aircraft is proof that it should never have been grounded. A simple notam would have been sufficient.
