Re: Pull Breakers

Jos V,

I guess you'd expect the planes to be going fast. If they'd got the throttles set to high power for climb-out, but weren't climbing because the stupid MCAS is trying to kill them, then the plane is going to be gaining speed instead of altitude. Which perhaps they were too busy to notice, or wanted to keep high power as they were trying to get the plane to go up, if only the computer wasn't actively working against them.
