Boeing said nothing about faulty 737 Max alert until after crash

But the plane maker didn’t tell airlines or the Federal Aviation Administration of the problem with the warning light until after a Lion Air plane went down off the coast of Indonesia in October, according to a Boeing statement Sunday. The accident occurred after an erroneous reading by a single angle-of-attack sensor triggered software that pushed the jet’s nose down until pilots lost control.

But the alert was only working on planes that had a separate angle-of-attack indicator on the cockpit display, the manufacturer said. The additional feature cost extra.

Hmm wonder who pushed this “money first, people second” priority through 🤔 ... probably the verrry last person to ground the Boeing’s ... who could that be ... hmm.... 🍊

Welcome to life after “deregulation”. This won’t be the last example of the problems derived from putting industry leaders in charge of policing themselves. The cracks will show. Cutting corners to save money is going to be built into the economy. Who knew?

It was a flying brick from the beginning. How was it certified?

This plane's body is instantly unstable, there is no way to make it safe. Boeing must cancel 737 max and creare a new model.

So sad😧😢

Any & all Boeing execs who knew this & covered it up need to go to prison for the rest of their lives.

Boeing kept quiet about 737 Max safety-alert problem for about a yearBoeing Co. didn’t share information about a problem with a cockpit safety alert for about a year before the issue drew attention with the October crash of a 737 Max jet in Indonesia, and then gave some airlines and pilots partial and inconsistent explanations, according to industry and government officials. Penny wise Pound foolish Is how big business operates Until that philosophy turns around and bites them in the butt This is how the system operates: lets say that a faulty design will cost $1 billion to fix. But the manufacturer knows that it might cause 1 or 2 crashes and the liability payout will be about $500 million. Well, they take the calculated risk and no fix.
