Boeing tried to say it was the pilots for a long time. I don't want to fly on a plane whereby you need to be an exceptional pilot to not crash the plane.
Further, Lion Air requested additional pilot training. Boeing mocked them for it: https://fortune.com/2020/01/14/boeing-lion-air-extra-737-max-pilot-training-simulator-crash/ https://fortune.com/2020/01/14/boeing-lion-air-extra-737-max...
2 planes crashed really quickly after they were new.

Two really new planes crashing is only due to pilot error?
- makomk 6y agoLion Air's request for additional training was eminently worthy of mockery from what I could tell - it would've been a lot of hassle, and so brief and cursory to be basically useless if their pilots already knew how to fly a standard 733 and completely inadequate if they didn't.
