    That's very un-American of him. After all, it's only a few hundred foreigners that have been crisped and Boeing is a major arms-dealer. Military stuff supplied by Boeing maybe kills ten times that number of people every day and American jobs are more important than them. OK- so we couldn't sensibly call the passengers ' terrorists ' - but they were foreign. Well, most of them.

    Hero pilot Sully of 'Miracle on the Hudson' fame slams 'absurdly low' number of training hours for Ethiopian Airlines pilots after deadly crash

    He drew attention to the 200 hours of flight that the first officer on the flight was reported to have had under his belt, calling the number 'absurdly low' For comparison, American commercial pilots must have at least 1,500 before getting their certification

    So why don't you take your falsehoods and posturing , stuff 'em up your ARSE and fuck off. You're due to resign if your Brexit fails anyway.

    As for your CLIMATE garbage- you're a fucking traitor to humanity.

    French air crash investigators say ‘clear similarities’ between Boeing 737 MAX crashes

    A team of French air crash investigators say they have found “clear similarities” between last week’s Ethiopian Airlines crash and last October’s Lion Air disaster. Both 737 MAX aircraft plunged nose-first to their doom.
    "During the verification process of the FDR (flight data recorder) data, clear similarities were noted by the investigation team between Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and Lion Air Flight 610, which will be the subject of further study during the investigation," the BEA said in a statement.

    https://www.rt.com/news/454132-inves...ashes-similar/



    Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 nosedived into a field shortly after takeoff last Sunday, killing all 157 people on board. Lion Air Flight 610 plunged into the sea last October, killing all 189 passengers and crew.

    In both cases, the 737 MAX’s MCAS system is suspected to be responsible. The system automatically makes adjustments to the tail angle to keep the plane level in flight. However, false sensor readings can repeatedly trigger the system, forcing the plane into a dive.

    The BEA investigators found that the sensor readings in both flights were similar.

    In the US, a group of engineers with the Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing claimed over the weekend that Boeing downplayed safety concerns surrounding the MCAS system in a bid to bring the 737 MAX to market before rival Airbus launched its own next-generation narrow body aircraft.

    The engineers also claimed that the FAA delegated much of the 737 MAX’s safety testing to Boeing itself, and were content to trust the company’s conclusions. Other air safety regulators around the world then certified the MAX 8 based on the FAA’s thumbs up.
    I wonder if ' protecting American jobs ' is an acceptable plea in cases of corporate manslaughter.

    Perhaps Boeing will ask maggot to testify on its behalf.

    Can Boeing weather the 737 Max storm?

    Pressure on Boeing is intensifying as crisis engulfs the company and its most popular plane.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/...004904940.html
    Boeing is one of the world's most deadly arms dealers. It has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Fuck 'em.

    European air regulator doesn’t trust American FAA, will keep 737 MAX grounded pending extra tests



    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will keep Boeing’s 737 MAX 8 grounded until it performs its own safety tests on the jet. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) faces scrutiny for certifying the plane.
    “I can assure you that we will not let the plane fly on our side until we find acceptable answers,” agency head Patrick Ky told a European Parliament hearing on Tuesday.

    Boeing’s 737 MAX 8 jetliner has been grounded around the world in the wake of two fatal disasters. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 nosedived into a field shortly after takeoff last Sunday, killing all 157 people on board. Lion Air Flight 610 plunged into the sea last October, killing all 189 passengers and crew.

    Investigators say that there are “clear similarities” between both accidents. In both cases, the plane’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is believed to be responsible.

    Trump wanted to back Boeing and the airlines by staying in the air. But somebody, somewhere in the administration told him if he allowed them to keep flying and a crash happened he would not have a prayer in 2020. Trump needs the protection of the presidency, so he decided reluctantly to ground them.

    Yes- and the stench of the ' Pilot error ' claim has yet to come.
