Right. And is why they claimed 'non-operational'. It had the name of the weapon on the tube which was the only cool thing about it.

Rather than nitpik the article for errors, we should discuss the main focus: Our trust and misunderstanding of technology. So, what scares me more than too much automation? Total automation. Folks, we're getting very close to the point where the entire aviation sequence is automated. If and when that happens there might no longer be a human in the cockpit to recall 'how hard' they tried to recover the plane. But it just wouldn't respond.

Little is being said about the 'other' software issue(s) which are causing the extended delays in return to service. But apparently it's enough to make a recert a real possibility. And I wonder if any other type are running legacy software with 'issues'? I also agree that Muilenburg and his cronies should be held more accountable; his initial public denials were offensive and gross. The corporate Boeing ethos has, for the last 15 years, been all about $$ and keeping Airbus down as much as possible, at any cost. Not what Boeing used to be.

Given the amount of negative press, foul mood at the FAA, and public perception, my opinion is that we're going to see a massive compensation payout to both the families, the airlines and some governments. So while Boeing went into this with a huge bankroll (and the dame size of hubris and righteousness) it is now questionable whether current management will survive. Furthermore, while I think Boeing will survive this it's going to have to implement a company-wide change of culture. At least I hope so, for the good of its employees and our country.

you'd rather see rabid republicans? Please focus upon the agenda of the forum and spew the political discourse someplace else.
