I think I'd be nervous this morning if I was scheduled on a Max 8 or if I was a Boeing shareholder. A second Max 8 just crashed after takeoff in Ethiopia with eerily similar flight profile from the Lion Air Max 8 that crashed in Indonesia a couple months ago. I have a feeling the Boeing engineers in charge of the Max 8 design were called into work this morning for some crisis management. Will be interesting how the FAA responds. Will we see a full grounding? I know they made Boeing update the training manual after the Lion Air crash to go over how to recover when the plane tries to recover from a stall that is not really happening. If this is the same issue, then hopefully they can solve it with the flight software otherwise we could be looking at a re-design of the aircraft which would be disastrous for Boeing (and the airlines that are dependent on the Max 8). I think American and Southwest are the largest operators of the new type. Their pilot unions will probably have something to say also.

Not sure where this post should be so posted it here in Omni.
