  The way the press reported on it was just despicable. P.S. in case it isn't clear, I am not a pilot myself, but friends and family are pilots. One just got his Apache Chopper certification! Wow! Me so proud and so envious.

    Honestly, anyone who has domain knowledge about something the press reports on, and doesn't realize that the press is just doing whatever they want and fitting the relevant facts to that, is probably not paying attention much at all. It's also pretty obvious that the "officially accepted story" around the 737 is better for everyone including Boeing - because it's now been wrapped up and completed; there was a bug, the bug is fixed, the end. The real story that there are some unknown number of pilots flying planes right now that will not deal correctly with emergency situations - that's a much harder problem, and much scarier to face. But it's obviously real; any number of air disasters occurred because the pilots didn't follow the basic emergency procedures. None of that means that the cases where they have to shouldn't be reduced, mind you.
