I’m going to stick my neck out today and join some dots that surround the 737-Max MCAS (Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System) chaos. My conclusion is stark, but it is a symptom that needs to be spoken about from an industry insider perspective.

A domain that Airbus embraced and up until the 737 Max, Boeing chose not to.
