Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 pilots 'could not stop nosedive'
I’d love to see those people who accused the airline and crew of being incompetent to apologize in the light of these reports.<p>It was shameful to see Boeing actively encouraging that narrative behind the scenes. Especially considering it plays on racist stereotypes equating „Africa“ with bad training&#x2F;bad safety record&#x2F;…. The idea of „dingy third world airline“ was ridiculous on its face, considering how bad a fit flying the most modern airliner is with it.<p>And it was also contradicted by the factual record of Ethopian being a competent airline on par with any in Europe or North America. Their safety rating is better than easyjet, Ryanair, Spirit, WOW, and Southwest: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.airlineratings.com&#x2F;safety-rating-tool&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.airlineratings.com&#x2F;safety-rating-tool&#x2F;</a>
