That’s good. Which one killed hundreds of people the past few years and have been a shitshow since?

I stand by my statement and you are one of the armchair critics that has zero idea what you are talking about.

There is a cardinal rule in civil aviation: do not leave the gate with a safety device not working. This is federal law, airline policy, and pilot union policy in most western nations.

The two pacific rim airlines that lost their 737's had multiple safety systems out of order and were written up by pilots repeatedly and there was direct causation to the accidents here.

This was completely unaccaptable. It would be like having a flat tire for days on your personal car, going out on the interstate and doing 70, then blaming the GPS for leading you into a pond. No, your tire was flat.

You. do. not. leave. the. gate. with. safety. systems. malfunctioning.

Cannot be simpler than that. And yet they did it over and over again.
