[QUOTE="juddles, post: 1920847, member: 32180"] If in the due course of time this turns out to be a Lion Air equivalent, it is my opinion that a great deal of blame lies with Boeing. To implement software that will crash perfectly flyable aircraft (unless that software is overridden correctly by skilled pilots), and NOT even tell pilots about it until it became an issue, just seems to me to be "bad practice". And if this problem is kicking in at only 7000 feet, I suspect even well trained pilots may have a struggle saving the plane. (obviously all my comments are as an armchair warrior in this area, as I am not a pilot) I am usually all for waiting for a full and comprehensive investigation, but this 737 MAX issue may be so urgent that groundings are warranted.
