Re: Boeing could not recreate the crash conditions on their flight simulator

Didnt Boeing quietly admit last week, that the simulator software was wrong, and didnt reflect what really happens when MCAS goes wrong??

All the sims they did prior to the Ethiopia crash showed the aircraft could be restored to safe flight - but in reality the pilots using it werent having their control surfaces degraded the way they would in real life; nor suffering the physical push-back on the controls from the airflow that occurs when the brown stuff hits the rotating blades.

Releasing this simulator news so soon after admitting that snafu is tantamount to corporate suicide - assuming the law-suits that have already starting flowing dont bankrupt them anyway.

Airlines have hundreds of unflyable Max-8s burning through their budgets; sooner or later they are going to start suing Boeing for selling them unsafe crap.

Air Ethiopia alone has 10 of them mothballed ??
