Shit that happens with Airlines, thread

- Start date
A major system change like that is kinda fucking important to tell pilots its there.
With redneck levels of safety engineering to suit.
"No seat belts, we die like men!" - Boeing, presumably.
It's okay, if the MCAS on that 737 doesn't kill you, the wing slats falling off might.

The Roots of Boeing’s 737 Max Crisis: A Regulator Relaxes Its Oversight (Published 2019)
A Times investigation found that the F.A.A. regulatory process, which gave Boeing significant oversight authority, compromised the safety of the plane.

A Top Aviation Writer on What Really Brought Down Boeing’s 737 Max https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-crashes.html
Unless control surfaces were conspiring to push it down faster than gravity pulls.
Boeing killed those people.
The larger system, including Boeing.
The human factors failures are huge. System pushed down magnitudes stronger than Boeing reported. When the system did that and pushed the nose over, the only way to manually retrim is to “unload” the tail by pushing the nose further down, which is very much the opposite of what any reasonable person would expect or want to do. Re-engaging the electric trim would result in more nose-down pitch events. Then the whole reason it was doing this was to prevent a stall, which was being predicated on one erroneous instrument rather than looking to see if multiple instruments agreed first, and then the system that should have shown two indicators were disagreeing or that one was erroneous was “optional” and not functional. Huge failures. Thats just my perspective as someone who has studied human factors engineering/ergonomics at the graduate level.

Nearly two decades before Boeing’s MCAS system crashed two of the plane-maker’s brand-new 737 MAX jets, Stan Sorscher knew his company’s increasingly toxic mode of operating would create a disaster of some kind. A long and proud “safety culture” was rapidly being replaced, he argued, with “a culture of financial bullshit, a culture of groupthink.”

Boeing 777X’s fuselage split dramatically during September stress test
When Boeing's new 777X suffered a ground test failure in early September, the damage was much more alarming than previously reported. It wasn't a cargo door blowout. It was worse.

FWIW, Frontier bent over backwards to make one of the most painful days of my life more tolerable. Got me wheelchairs, changed to the biggest seats they had, whisked my through TSA, and wheeled me to the SLC baggage claim. They really couldn’t have been nicer.
