Exactly Samuel. However the procedure to turn off the autotrim system is indeed necessary and is not because of "poor design". Except for the MCAS system the autotrim system is designed to be able to be turned off in the event of runaway trim. Absolutely necessary and some variant of the system is on every commercial airliner I can thing of - certainly on all Boeing aircraft. As you stated a well trained pilot would have known to turn the system off which did occur on the flight prior to the aircraft crashing.
Not arrogance.... experience. It's hard to read so much of the BS here that it becomes rather infuriating. What's the old saying? It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. Mark Twain
Well I'm a retired pilot with over 24,000 hours with nearly 10,000 on 737 variants. I would fly the Max anytime, anywhere. With all of the scrutiny the Max is now the safest airplane in the world.
Well that's a brilliant statement. If you disagree agree with Stratofan, Phil Caron, Greg Fife and David Craig (and me as well) you obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about. By your measure we should destroy one of America's premier companies, thousands of Boeing employees not to mention all of the folks in the supply train would then be unemployed. That sure makes a lot of sense. Good move Bozo.
