This is something I've been following for a while (it's another of my weird interests) and MOA seem to have the gist of it right. Boeing and the FAA will be swearing up and down that there isn't an issue but there really is. For some deatailed (and sometimes way technical) discussion here are some links: This is the Lion Air crash that was the first major incident with the 8 max and the MCAS system: https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/614857-indonesian-aircraft-missing-off-jakarta-4.html This is the thread at the same site on the Ethiopian crash: https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/619272-ethiopian-airliner-down-africa.html and this is about the software fixes for the MCAS that have been delayed: https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/618252-boeing-737-max-software-fixes-due-lion-air-crash-delayed.html That forum is full of aviation professionals so some of it gets too techy for me but there's a lot of really solid information and discussion if you want to get into it. Even there though you can see the yanks trying to blame it on "third-world pilots and airlines". I think Boeing could be up shit creek on this one although the two airlines involved don't have enough jizz to resist being pushed around by Boeing and the FAA/NTSB so they will probably end up trying to blame the pilots/airline training. Once they (Boeing/FAA) get isolated as the only people claiming the 8max is airworthy I think they might change their tune. I would expect scores of law suits to come charging over the horizon too. If hundreds of people have died because they wanted to make an extra buck it's the least they should face.
