Julian Bray on the 737 MAX (training, Boeing, FAA)

Somehow seems more direct than American network news.

Its pretty clear to me there is something fundamentally risky about the the 737Max and the FAA and Boeing made a decision to underplay the change and failed to disclose a risk to less experienced pilots. Blaming this on foreign pilots being under trained is on Boeing not the country. Automation is to make thing afer not build in new risks that require expertise to spot and avoid then not train and tell them in the manual about this risk. Perhaps Boeing didnt know it was risky? But I doubt if, if they did not they are not a reliable manufacturer and designer of such a high tech device that can kill hundreds at a time.

Boeing is a global supplier, it needs to be concerned products they build that exceed some countries ability to train and put on training themselves and play up new risks systems produce not minimize the differences it makes in a historically very reliable plane they modified extensively.

I am a 35 year airline pilot. I have flown the Boeing 727, 737-300/500/700/800 and the 777 as well as the ATR, (an Airbus product) and I have a background in flight training.
As such, I can tell you unequivocally and without hesitation that you and at least 90% of the rest of the posters on this topic have absolutely no idea what the hell you are talking about.
It is simply uninformed, wild eyed speculation and does absolutely nothing to answer any of the important questions.
When all the authorities have completed all their investigations we will know what happened and what steps will be taken to prevent accidents like this from happening again.

Airbus had software problems when the A320 came out and lost a few planes as well until the pilots got used to the programs. Air France 447 was an example of a confused crew with a problem others had successfully dealt with, and the same has happened with the Max......
