737 MAX

Some interesting comments here.

If you are interested.

Plus, read the linked blogpost.

Apparently, the "anomaly" wasn't a new thing, it's just that most other pilots had the training to overcome it. The ones from places where there was good training and oversight by the governments had "incidents" and the pilots disconnected the automation and simply flew the plane manually....pitch and power/stick and rudder.

The 'Third World" airlines: Not so much.

Please note that the "copilot" only had 200 hours of time in the Ethiopian Airlines crash.

Yep, BIG difference in training, and required pilot time...

I remember when one needed 250 hours to take the commercial flight test.

200 hours? {Piffle}. Aeronautical children do not belong in the right seat of anything carrying passengers.
