The FAA also lost a lot of trust, for rubber-stamping this.&lt;p&gt;The first accident was maybe understandable. We all know that shit happens. But Boeing has zero excuses for not immediately grounding the whole fleet after, and for putting out that useless recovery procedure which didn&amp;#x27;t work in this case. They let a deadly plane fly for 5 months after they were aware of it, and after the second crash they were phoning Trump to keep it in the air.</text></comment>

The first thing they will all learn is how to disable it so they can actually fly the airplane. That&amp;#x27;s even without a software fix.&lt;p&gt;To me, it all comes down to to Boeing being able to self-certify their aircraft, and they knew they were sneaking the &amp;quot;fix&amp;quot; known as MCAS as a way to prevent loss of sales to A320. Super shady in my opinion.</text></comment>
