It is absolutely not true.

Where did you even hear that?

Getting your ATP (PhD of piloting) is tough, getting a job in this current climate, not so much.

Oh boy.

Boeing needed a plane to compete with the Airbus A320neo.

They rushed it because time was of the essence, they would lose orders unless they came up with a competitive product.

So they made the MAX, putting very large engines on what was essentially a 50 year old design.

The engines had a tendency to make the plane pitch up, a stall inducing move.

They did the MCAS software to pitch the nose down.

For some reason they felt like they didn't need to pilots about this.

And then, disaster.

Good man, you know your stuff.

I educate pilots and have been in aviation for 10 years. Nice to meet another aviation enthusiast.
