Scandal about Boeing/FAA
Just read news about: Because of brutal competition with airbus, Boeing wanted to release the new 737 Max model asap. So it tries to push FAA to skip safety evaluation. And FAA then asked Boeing to do evaluation by itself...... My goddess, I cannot believe this is happening. When we are blaming Huawei has strong connection with China gov, our gov has much stronger connection with our own company while sacrificing people life to ensure country interests.
Blows my mind that they couldn't identify and fix this after the FIRST crash
Fun part is, that the whole (faulty) subsystem was there to handle the design flaw that caused the crash.
I think the situation in the US is exactly the opposite of China. Here, national interests and lives of people are put in danger to further corporate interests and please the corporate overlords. Corporations are not bent to government will, the government is bent to the corporate will instead.
I can't beleive they approved it inspite of the risk involved.. The worst thing that can happen to any one is a nose diving plane crash.. I lost my trust on all corporate companies after reading that article..
What's perhaps more shocking to me is that they didn't disclose the MCAS function so they could keep the same type rating, effectively making it appear more attractive to current 737 pilots. (Cheaper to own, less retraining required)
The less said about the MFers involved in the decisions the better. Why bother with TSA if lack of integrity in QA is what kills people? Anyone traveling to the USA knows how they make passengers go through extra scrutiny, but they don't bother to guarantee the planes will be safe!
I dont think it's fair to blame this on QA. QA raises issues. It's up to management to fix them. This is standard in all software.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-28/boeing-s-737-max-software-outsourced-to-9-an-hour-engineers It’s interesting article probably answering why a software has that flaw
Yayyy.....new thing to be angry today.
