On: Did a 1997 merger ruin Boeing?

[Swenrekcah]

The door plug falling out is a mistake. The MCAS crashes were caused by criminal negligence and outright fraud driven by money concerns.

The plane may be OK after the fixes and now when the pilots are no longer (?) being actively misled by Boeing, so perhaps no need to scrap the whole fleet.

But MCAS was not a “software problem”.

Yeah, it was. And so was the fix.

There was also a pilot training issue, in that of the 3 crews that experience MCAS failure, only one of them thought to turn off the trim system (and landed safely).
