Before Ethiopian Crash, Boeing Resisted Pilots’ Calls for Aggressive Steps on 737 Max
Weeks after the first fatal crash of the 737 Max, pilots from American Airlines pressed Boeing executives to work urgently on a fix. In a closed-door meeting, they even argued that Boeing should push authorities to take an emergency measure that would likely result in the grounding of the Max.

Unfortunately this just comes across as a company disregarding the feedback from their customers. If pilots (not A pilot, but a union) is saying to take certain steps, Boeing should have reacted immediately. Pilots fly that plane day in and day out and know what to do - if they say to make a fix, it shouldn't be so readily dismissed as it appears Boeing has. It is disturbing how much new information is coming out about the things Boeing did to keep this plane under the 737 banner and under a single type certificate. If it weren't for the need to keep certification the same as other 737's, MCAS wouldn't have been necessary, and pilots would have been trained to fly a perfectly capable and stable aircraft.
Hanno ragione i piloti, devono avere sicurezza e tantissime garanzie in più mentre svolgono il loro lavoro.
Boeings behavior is criminal.
Not saying its right, but in China, these Boeing execs would be facing a firing squad - literally.
another piece of bad boeing behavior. Pilots in the end only want, and do demand a predictable, consistent performing machine, and efforts to stiffle that impulse reflect badly on the stiffilers. Those folks at boeing ought to be fired and replaced by folks with more helpful instincts. This includes executives, board memebers, and anybody senior enough to have hobbled the exposure and remediation of the boeing bucking bronco, the Max 737...and done publicly and labeled as such, otherwise more coverup and obfuscation, none of which boeing can further afford
A dash camera caught the last moments of the flight. It is horrible - terrifying- and sad. I watched it twice and that was two times to much.
