Boeing 737 Max Hit Trouble Right Away, Pilot’s Tense Radio Messages Show
In the likely event that this is another MCAS related crash, I see only two possible reasons:<p>1. Boeing's suggested process (including flipping the two trim switches and spinning a wheel) does not work for some reason.<p>-or-<p>2. The Ethiopian pilots did not follow this process.<p>I see #1 as putting a huge, huge amount of blame on Boeing and the FAA - especially given their months of "safe plane" reaction after Lion Air and their cavalier few days after Ethopian.<p>I see #2 as still keeping a good deal of blame on Boeing, but also adding a significant training+capability element to Ethiopian and the pilots. Since Lion Air, how much had Boeing done to specify that the 737-MAX and the 737-NG are not the same plane and require different things to be aware of?  Could a 737-MAX pilot really not have run through in their head a thousand times what MCAS related issues look like and what they would do if they started having those issues?
