This practice has been going on now every month since it’s grounding earlier this year. With each passing month with the MAX sitting on the ground, harder It will become to win the People’s trust in this model. It will be a year by next March that a solution has not been found to resolve the MCAS when it becomes rogue with a mind of it’s own which would want to destroy itself and all aboard. MCAS reminds me of the 70’s movie “Westworld” when mechanical Yul Brynner goes rogue and start killing real people.
That was a good film. Hard to believe it was as long ago as 1973. Written by Michael Chrichton (Jurassic Park).
“Westworld. Where nothing can go worng.”
Yes, great movie.
Famous last words.
The last few years I have been meeting with friends from the 70’s in London where we had all worked at the Met Police forensic lab, a day of “pub crawling” of the pubs which are still in existence from then, where I had suggested that all 5 of us should sail together to bring my sailboat back to Europe from California, and the response was, “let’s see, a bunch of “geriatrics” on a sailboat across the Pacific together, what could possibly go wrong?”
