Right seat had 200 hours.  Left seat was 29.  CVR should be interesting.

Radar data shows MCAS roller coaster.

Canada just grounded the Max
Not yet the US
If two american carriers had two catastrophic accidents
withing 6 months involving the Max I think it would have
been grounded immediately

I am now in good company.

TC has banned both me and the 737 Max

Hairdo Dolly just got back from Florida and likely
told Garneau to stick it to Boeing.  Again.

It’s a good thing there’s no politics involved here.

BA was 363!

Funny how we have been whining about automation
for years, and the rest of the world just woke up.

I've never flown any variant of the 737 but from what I have read and please forgive me I only have high school and some college, so my comprehension shouldn't be that good I'm told.

So the automation fucks up and plane crashes???  Did Boeing remove the yokes or controls from the MAX? and also forgot to put in a AP/TRIM disconnect button of some sort??
