US regulator sees no need for new Boeing 737 Max simulator training
The proposal by an FAA board stops short of requiring costly simulator training as it could complicate the grounded 737 Max aircraft's return to service (theprint.in) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Its Boeing's Tylenol moment. They had another with the 787 battery fires. They didn't do a good PR job then, but the engineers fixed the problem and its a great aircraft.
I'd rather the FAA set the training at the highest possible standard. However if the simulators haven't been programmed and approved with the latest MCAS software release, there is no point spending time in the simulator.

Hardly. Tylenol was sabotaged by some depraved individual(s). Boeing's problems are of their own making.
The Tylenol reference was to the PR side of the equation. Which is a blind spot for Boeing that appeared with the 787 and again with the Max.
Do you really think Boeing would intentionally design, build and deliver that they knew was going to be detrimental to their reputation?
Tylenol is a pain reliever, and Boeing is having to take a lot more of it with this mess just as they did with the 787 issue...eventually the pain will subside and business will carry on, thou with less deeper pockets.
WTH has that got to do with intentional design???They never "intentionally designed" the 787 to have the batteries catch fire, but should have done more research first about Lithium batteries...same can be said for this mess...they should have built redundancies into the system first. "Hey how come both AoA sensors are reading different, best not engage but issue a warning of the problem"

It's a numbers game and a very deadly game indeed. Keeping the stockholder's happy was priority over safety. IMO this A/C should have never gotten an Airworthiness Certificate.
Seems those in charge (manufacturer/airlines/feds) have come up with an algorithm that puts a price on human life, which is cheaper than sim training.
