Aviation Safety Demands More than Soundbites and Other Takeaways from Boeing on Capitol Hill Flight Safety Detectives

    • Aviation

Episode 10 John and Greg explore what was said and what wasn't said when Boeing executives recently spent two days on Capitol Hill testifying before congress. Their take: the hearings were an emotional platform for congressmen to point fingers, not an opportunity for fact finding.   As always, John and Greg use the podcast format to go deeper than 30 second soundbites. They talk in detail about the questions that need to be asked. They refocus the discussion on the facts of the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) final report [https://www.pama.org/reports.html#/].   The narrative that the crash was caused solely by the 737 Max Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) isn't the whole story. Join John and Greg as they dive into the complex issues that deserve attention.   Photo credit: By User:Acefitt - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=69781313
