Evan, who is not_a pilot, thinks all pilots are stupid and that Airbus is perfect.
Ok, I exaggerated a little.
I watched the movie, and thought it made some interesting points. Sure, there’s a counter argument that it’s easier to criticize than it is design airplanes, and the counter counter argument that companies will spin things to make themselves look good.
There was an interesting MCAS-like story of pilots not_being told that an unlevel landing would make it totally impossible to deploy the spoilers, but Evan has spoken, and that was the stupid cowboy monkey pilots’ fault....

This is not directed at Bert, but the entire conversation. That damn that “plane” is always monkeying with pilots inputs… whoops, I need some extra flare…I’m sorry, Bert, additional elevator input is not available when in flare mode C-14blo100frrdalt on Wednesdays between 1400 and 2400Z. ...

Bullcrap for practical purposes.
The max AOA is when they are on the ground, almost dragging the tail. As the plane climbs, the AOA reduces, UNLESS THE PILOT LETS THE PLANE NOSE UP MORE, or tailwinds change it. There isn’t too much room for much vertical wind that close to the ground and not in a thunderstorm.
I repeat, that is a pretty significant nose over- more than should be needed to maintain a healthy AOA.
PLUS, big nose overs can result in big sinks, resulting in an urge to pull up hard, resulting in….
It’s all great if you are ahead of the plane, but
if you over do it/PIO it…you wind up with outsiders pontificating on how you should fly your airplane....

Someone was suggesting that this wasn’t getting due press coverage....

Mild disagreement: I think we have a decent amount of evidence and several hints as to the cause....

I blame Boeing for failures of both the ship AND the bridge in Baltimore!
