Not being trained on distinct and aberrant behaviour of a specific aircraft is not the same as ignorant or stupid.

- WalterBright 1y agoAll MAX pilots received an Emergency Airworthiness Directive with the instructions on how to recover.
- IAmBroom 1y agoIf the training is available, it really is. This isn't your friend's car you're borrowing to pick your kid up from school. A tad more care should be involved before loading it with human beings and flying over cities.
- glitchc 1y agoTell that to the airline. It's not up to the pilot. The airline has to agree to pay for it. The 737 Max was offered because it was a lot cheaper for airlines to add marginal additional hours of training, instead of the minimum 25000 hrs of recertification that would be necessary for a brand new platform. In short, the 737 Max is exactly what the airlines were clamoring for and why it sold so well. This was discussed extensively on HN when the incident occurred (and subsequent articles). You may want to go read those comments and enlighten yourself.
