Not sure flying on a US airline or European would help

This is fascinating if true.

Pilots were completely unaware of a system. The system appears to have been designed such that it could continue to operate and cause a crash. That there was no fail safe or means of checking if the data it was operating on was even correct.

If it's accurate that the FAA are pushing certification of safety systems down to Boeing, that would seem to be a fairly major conflict of interest.

I'd like to know how often this MCAS has kicked in to save a plane from stalling (what it was designed to do)? Surely they have data on that too. Is it necessary? So far it seems to have crashed 2 planes.

I do not understand all the issues. I agree with CM that at this level of a critical safety process there appears to be a conflict of interest.

this is part of the reason that the Ethiopia black box went back to France and not to the US for analysis
