Of course not ! We all know that nobody is SUPPOSED to be above the law but in the last year we have seen how when the person in charge has gotten away with not being held accountable for their criminal actions, and thinks he’s above the law, he’ll let every bird of the same feather off the hook for their criminal activity too.
NO! This was the result of negligence, and management short cuts to increase profits at the sacrifice of Quality
So who is held accountable? When we say criminal charges there have to be consequences so who goes to Jail, the CEO, the chief of design, how many people in the chain of command, the technician who installed the system when he knew it wouldn’t work?
The accidents were mostly pilot error from poor training and in the first accident, maintenance error. The previous crew had reported the problem and it was supposed to have been fixed. Even as a private pilot, I received training on runaway trim.
Who? The person at Boeing who was behind the effort to bury the existence of MCAS, not telling the pilots that this fundamentally different control system than anything in existence before. The FAA too for that matter. I don’t buy “it’s only runaway trim” since electric trim cut-out didn’t save Lion Air Flight 610. Without criminal culpability, I’m like - damn, what else are they hiding that might kill me?
No, blatant profit over safety.
