Boeing Admits To 'Mistake' In Handling MAX Issues (Corrected) - AVweb

I agree with the previous comment relative to AvWeb providing the industry with only “milk toast” comments about Boeing and the 737 MAX crashes. Lately all you see is Boeing CEO Muilenburg talking about how they are responsible and have a software fix ready to go. Well, who would be responsible if it isn’t Boeing and in concert the FAA. Boeing isn’t ready with a software fix until someone OTHER than BOEING says so. The 737 MAX wasn’t a victim of a “mistake”. It was “out of the box” a victim of out and out FRAUD. From day one it was evident to those of us who are in this field that the entire airplane development started with Boeing thinking that on their own decision they could make anything in ARP-4761, ARP-4754, 14 CFR 25.1309, (EASA)CS-25.1309, RTCA DO-178c, RTCA DO-254, and RTCA DO-160 “optional”. You can’t just decide to NOT DO the requirements in those documents. Note that 14CFR carries the strength of Federal Law. Anyone who signed his name to the 737 MAX development documents and subsequent software release needs to start looking for a Lawyer. BTW, where was Muielenburg during the 737 MAX development years ago. Maybe if he was involved in that effort instead of opportunistic “photo ops” he wouldn’t now be trying to smooth over two crashes. So, AvWeb stop calling cow chips meadow muffins.
