22. "falling out of the sky"?

I don't think they have had any hull loses since the 2 -737MAX incidents, the 1st one was 6 years ago and the second one had a lot of pilot error involved, the Co-Pilot on the Ethiopian Airlines 737 only had 361 flight hours with only 207 hours on the 737 and would not have been in the right seat in a 1st world airline.
According to the NTSB report:
Appropriate crew management of the event, per the procedures that existed at the time, would have allowed the crew to recover the airplane even when faced with the uncommanded nose-down inputs.


why has Boeing allowed it's certifying schooling turn out so many deficient technicians?


You think a South American airline like LATAM has all their maintenance people trained by Boeing in the US?
And even if they did Boeing has no control over what they do back in South America or if they cut corners or let unqualified personnel help work on their planes.

Boeing needs to ground their planes until they figure out how their QA got so out of whack. marble falls Mar 11 #6
Has it been determined it was a Boeing fault & not a pilot or maintenance issue? EX500rider Mar 11 #19
