All of you defending Boeing are either naive or paid by Boeing. Just like they are spending millions to keep covering everything. Out of the 100 critical incidents logged post feb 2022 , 60 were of Boeing max and there is a lid on it. But this stats can easily be checked if you have the resources to.)
you don’t mind flying, it’s fine, but stop making fun of people who are aware and conscious about it
I know this is the wrong forum for this,but you're right. MCAS was entirely unneeded, all that was needed was a waiver. And the reason is simple: Newton's 3rd law of physics. Stronger engines will increase pitch as an effect due increased thrust, which, with the way the engines are placed, will create an even bigger pitch (and increased angle of attack, with an increased risk of stall under certain rare conditions).

A pilot worth their salt would know to counteract such pitch up maneouver (judging they're worth their salt, ofc).


Personally, i wouldnt avoid a MAX, im in fact trying to get to fly in a MAX, but from another airline..
