Other crews had flown out of similiar situations by knowing a set power that would maintain altitude. The pitot tubes were going to be replaced in the next week. What the flying crew overlooked was that alternate law puts in 15 degrees nose up to the elevator automatically. It mushed into the pond.........

It's a simple trim problem.......just flick off the MCAS cutoff switches and fly the thing manually. You can see what's happening with the big trim wheels right in front of the pilots. This is BS started by the non-pilots media scaring the hell out of people over nothing. They never talk about one of the planes being saved by a knowladgebal jump seater the day before. Pilot error by the overseas crowd.

Boeing could have roasted the brain dead crews who left 94% power on while trying to trim.......all they had to do were treat it like a runaway trim event........

Only plane I've been on that will push you back in the seat at 350 and climb......thanks to no fuel dump....you haven't lived till you have peered into that engine at 100% power from about ten feet outside. Pure violence as it trys to jump the chocks and cream ya.........LOL

Worked for an airline that bought some of the first low power A320. They lasted around 20 years and got parked.

Some lucky kids coming up, my son got hired back at the last hiring spree. I soloed in 1969 and kept looking for a way in. But nada, all WW2 and some national guard hires. Northwest didn't hire a single pilot in the 70's. I talked to a guy with 10,000 hours late 70's and he couldn't get on flying a Navajo for a commuter.

Ban them for life on SWA and send them directly to jail for 90 days. They will lose their jobs and be felons for life......something they won't soon forget.......
