My goodness people. Regardless of party, wanting harm to people is just wrong. And this site is about aviation, for crying out loud.

Did one of the photos of the plane climbing out from the first attempt look like the flaps and slats weren't down?

When this plane is allowed to return to service, it'll be the safest aircraft flying. With all of the eyeballs on this, nothing less will be accepted.

Capt. Sully also noted Airbus has an inherent design flaw, that being the 2 side sticks are not connected. So one pilot cannot look at his stick and visually tell what kind of stick inputs the other pilot is making. Having said that, it's still hard to believe Boeing made the decisions it did regarding MCAS and AOA. Particularly, the note of 'optional safety equipment' meaning a second AOA sensor. There is no such things as 'Optional' when safety is concerned. Geez

So, are these new aircraft, used aircraft another airline is not longer using, or are they redeploying 2 aircraft from other routes?

One thing superior in my opinion about Boeing vs Airbus is control wheel vs side stick. Airbus side stick controls doesn't allow the non-flying pilot to visually tell what the flying pilot is doing. Boeing's control wheels are mechanically linked, which allows visual confirmation of pilot inputs. Frankly, I also wish both manufacturers didn't rely on fly by wire. Call me old fashioned, but aircraft should have mechanical connection to flight surfaces like cars do from the steering wheel to the tires.

A different take. With the 787, Boeing outsourced key aircraft components and took the approach that the supply chain would supply the components. Boeing would literally just snap them together like a model airplane. My take is this - is it possible non-aviation decisionmakers are making critical aviation decisions? It's just hard to believe that aviation engineers and managers would look at the MCAS and believe it doesn't require additional training. At what level is this kind of decision made?

As long as the pilots aren't third-world trained, I'm not worried about flying on one.

Freight requirements likely will make the 747 the jet version of the DC3. The 747 is a tough aircraft with a healthy supply of parts to keep them flying for decades. Meanwhile, it would appear the A380 won't fly anywhere nearly as long. Others may know better than I, but it would appear the cost to make a freight conversion isn't viable.
