Which of these conflicts of interest do you think has killed more people to date?
The airlines themselves. They buy what they can afford or want to buy.
I suppose you are right im that airlines ought not buy fhe max8 to avoid all of this controversy. Everyone should just buy airbus and the cs300 so that way no mcas failure no pilot error.
This accident may prove as a benchmark for future air transport design philosophy. . . either design airplanes with more and better automation, or design airplanes that depend more on pilot skill. All will eventually go either one direction or the other. . . I fear, however, that airplane designs that lean toward more dependence on pilot skill went out the window with the flight engineer.
Doesn't the basic design of the aircraft need to be stable in the first place? It seems to me, that if you need a software correction to compensate for a pitch up tendency, there's a deeper design issue. Or do I have the whole concept wrong about the reasons for the MCAS in the first place?
Yes you are correct. The max8 is a horrible and flawed design.
"Doesn't the basic design of the aircraft need to be stable in the first place?" . . . Not anymore, since modern technological abilities can allow for inherent instability. Although designed for a different purpose, a good example is the F-16.
No complaining about the airline owners being in charge of the crash investigation.
