Boeing releases 'damning' employee correspondence about Max
Boeing has released more than a hundred pages of documents to the US Congress, including internal text messages and emails which include language that mocks airline customers, the Federal Aviation Administration and other regulators, as the planemaker navigated the certification process of the now-grounded 737 Max.

The fires in California brought Pacific Gas & Electric (PG & E)to its knees. Something I didn't think was possible. Now I wonder the if 737 Max could bring Boeing into equally uncharted corporate territory
BOEING USED TO BE THE BEST! THEY BECAME GREEDY AND LOST SIGHT OF EXCELLENCE...
THEY DESERVE TO BE HAMMERED BY THE FEDS AND GET BACK TO BASICS. FIRE THE SWAMP AND HIRE LEADERS WITH ETHICS AND MORALS..RETRAIN ALL PILOTS ARE BOEING'S COST.. RECERTIFY EVERYONE. PAY FOR LOST REVENUES FOR THE AIRLINES THAT BOUGHT THE MAX.. REGAIN THE PUBLIC'S TRUST. FLY BOEING EXECUTIVE'S FAMILIES AROUND THE COUNTRY TO DEMONSTRATE THE NEW SAFETY FEATURES... THAT'S THE ACID TEST !!!

This Chicago based Boeing management was more interested in pushing the MAX out the door than in quality and safety. Were the results not so horrible, this would be like the pointy haired boss in the Dilbert cartoon strip!

The whole concept of a plane that's fundamentally out of balance is a problem. And to think you can try to pass that off without telling pilots is simply unethical.
The Max is most definitely not out of balance.
It’s unethical for you to be spreading this misinformation.
Do your research before commenting please.
MCAS was created to give pilots the same “feeling” as 737NG to keep the same type rating as all other 737s. The most basic certification of all commercially designed aircraft is they have to be inherently stable by design. Not dependent on software to do so. The aircraft would be 100% stable if Boeing decided to disable MCAS completely and force pilots to get a new type rating (defeats the purpose of designing the Max).

This is not entirely true. It depends on how you define "stable". MCAS was installed to correct a discontinuity during some high AoA maneuvers. You can call that an "instability" if you'd like, although I wouldn't. When the stick is pulled back smoothly the nose of the plane should also rise smoothly. However, in the MAX, during some maneuvers, the nose would rise smoothly and then unexpectedly "jump" up somewhat. It's possible the nose would jump up into or near a stall AoA. In addition, a discontinuity is in itself something of a black mark.
Please go watch this video and come back and tell me what you think.
