I think that with all that it's been through and all of the scrutiny that it's been given, it may be the safest commercial jet out there.

Most certainly. The design and its operating procedures are the most scrutinized of any airplane out there.

It will certainly be the safest airliner in history after all the scrutiny. And who believes what they see on 20/20? All I've ever seen there are half-truth hit jobs. You can't sell a news magazine with positive news.

yes - absolutely. The 20/20 special on the 737MAX was NOT a 'hit piece' on Boeing IMO. Simply reported the facts of the airframe, engineering development, focusing on the 2 crashes and impact on familes affected. 20/20 also reported on Boeing internal emails and docs, showing engineers knew of the MCAS problem, and one actually joked about it. Some engineers voiced strong concerns about the MCAS single point of failure and Boeing not requiring pilot training, and lack of documention on it for pilots.

All in-flight recorders were found for both fatal flights and determined the plane's forced nose-down while the pilots struggled until the end. BOTH crashes, and Boeing NEVER admitted the first MCAS failure while keeping the fleet up until the 2nd. Both crashes were determined NOT to be caused by anything BUT the 737MAX design flaw of MCAS. The pilots were unaware and helpless.

So, for those that are not aware of the details of the Max issues and history - pause a bit - and DON'T blame other potential causes when FACTS do not support.

I want Boeing to succeed and put this horrible episode behind them - but apparent coverups at the very top continue. sad and angry - for the families impacted worldwide, innocent Boeing employees and stockholders, and US the American public...Boeing execs intentially put their company and passenger lives in jeopardy for years.

If you don't believe what 20/20 resported - do your own research - I did...and the bottom line is what I detailed above and in previous posts. Boeing IS responsible.

First line of thought imo would be, is ABC reporting accurately. That should be the first consideration with any media report these days.

Major network report , I only believe things I read on the internet hmmmm

Couldnt agree with you more. Boeing is guilty of manslaughter. The company known for engineering and innovation got greedy, too Wall Street focused, fired their best talent to boost stock prices, and milked a 45-year old aircraft design way past its capacity. There are also problems with the 777. They should replace the 737 with the 797 ASAP.

[donfey]

Absolutely! And, the most dangerous leg of the trip remains the drive to the airport.

[Baywayric]

Can't wait!

No, I will not fly the 737 MAX because using the MCAS to try to "correct" a bad aerodynamic design is no way to go and I believe using a software "fix" makes it even worse. When you have a bad aerodynamic design the planes should be scrapped, but here they are with a completely new fleet of planes with this design so they are doing anything they can think of to avoid scrapping the planes. It was not safe and is still not safe. It has nothing to do with pilot training, it is all about a very poorly designed plane. The problem is when you buy a ticket for a flight on a certain plane (non-MAX) and you get to the airport, they can put you on a MAX plane at the last minute. So I will be trying to fly other airlines like Delta which have no MAX planes in their fleet. Both Southwest and American have MAX planes.
I thought I read where they were selling the MAX planes to countries in Europe but I guess that fell through.

We all can have opinions - some can be based upon facts rather than one liners.
