teamgreen02 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) From the article below it. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-03-17/boeing-737-crash-renews-debate-on-complexity-of-planes Quote Modern passenger airplanes are by their nature complex – but in most cases, that’s a good thing. The mental attention of air crews is a precious resource, and automated systems allow this to be conserved for when it’s most needed. On top of that, the fly-by-wire systems pioneered by the Airbus SE A320 mean that most planes these days self-correct when pilots move the controls too aggressively – one reason why fatal loss-of-control accidents have fallen by three-quarters over the past three decades. They will get this figured out and learn from it, just like crashes before that led to the development of these new anti-stall systems. Crashes cost manufactures billions of dollars. Grounding planes will cost another $250k per month per plane. Like everything, there is a balance between development speed, safety, and cost.

That’s fine but he wasn’t President when this new 737 was being developed and he did the right thing by grounding them. This is why you are just a partisan hack of a different stripe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
