I mean, it’s just one of the oldest plays in the book. MAX crashes, there goes the CEO. New CEO, and the plug door blowout, now he goes bye.
A CEO reset is meaningless unless major changes occur at the employee level, specifically, quality-control.
But I will say, I appreciated his “real talk” when during the documentary at the end the WSJ investigators ask him, would the MAX crashes have happened with a western crew? And he goes, can we go off the record? And they say no. Then he says well then I can’t answer. But you know the answer.
Lol. Called out third world button pushers, not aviators. Sadly, my complaint is Boeing should have realized they ARE selling to third world button pushers, not aviators, and designed he plane with that mindset.
Airbus did.
(But that said, plenty of Airbus crashes that were gross pilot error. AF 447, Air Asia 8501).
