Out running errands with my son and that space gave me more time to think about this.

Boeing with the 737Max, and this software is thinking like Airbus: "Let's not trust the pilots, we will make the plane fly the way it needs to fly".

This is way out of line with their past corporate history.

What to do now?

1. Disable the software.

2. Train all 737Max pilots a set number of hours in simulator to deal of the characteristics of AOA issues that the software was meant to deal with.

3. Mandate quarterly simulator hours ("CME: continuing medical education, that's what I do in my job ) of the same training to make sure pilots stay familiar with the 737Max's foibles.

4. Boeing to work on long term fix for issues (if there can be one).

It is much better to train pilots to fly the plane as it is than to train them to fly the plane when it is trying to kill them!
