It is [b]certifiably insane[/b] no one from Boeing has ever gone to jail for killing people over the 737 Max disasters.

* Boeing didn't even tell piots about the MCAS system  because they didn't want airlines to have to train pilots (which is a big negative for selling planes).

* MCAS is a critical safety system with a single point of failure.  Terrible, terrible design. It basically takes over control of the plane from the pilot and forces the nose of the plane down and pilots get overwhelmed with what to do because they weren't trained.

* Boeing preemptively knew that their MCAS system would likely need pilot training but went out of their way to not even bring it up when the MAX first came out to avoid scrunity from the FAA and airlines.

* Boeing's own internal analysis and documents showed that if MCAS malfunctioned or was making errors, pilots only had 10 seconds to correct before catastrophic failure!  Absolutely insane! How could a pilot address an issue with the aircraft due to a system that exists that they weren't even told about nor trained on?  Boeing did finally have to tell pilots about the MCAS system after the Indonesian Lion Air crash, but the absurdity is that the Ethiopian pilots who crashed months later DID do everything Boeing taught them to do and yet they still crashed. It just shows you how utterly absurd the MCAS system was with only a 10 second room for error.

* After the Lion air crash, the FAA conducted a thorough audit and statically projected that the Max would have 15 crashes over the lifetime of the plane....one every two years or so.  That would make it the worst, most unsafe planenl basically ever built for commercial aviation. What did Boeing do after they received the report from the FAA? Nothing!  They basically gambled that no other crashes would happen until they could come out with a potential fix for the MCAS.  Too bad that was a horrible miscalculation that cost everyone on the Ethiopian plane their lives.  Any sane company staring down the barrel of a huge public safety risk like that would have put out a warning to stop using their product and issued a recall or let the issue be known to the public.

Absolutely disgusting corporate malfeasance. Honestly, that kind of gross negligence and knowingly burying major safety problems/changes to the aircraft all so you can make your stock price goes up should warrant life in prison or capital punishment.
