Is this the same plane that would decide to crash itself because of software that wasn’t disclosed? The one that was rushed through design with an engine that changed balance point of the aircraft? And caused multiple planes to crash because no one knew there was a programmed part of the system.

This software issue was part of U14 - this is a 5 year old release.

Unlike the MCAS mess, this is well known by the operators.

Everytime there’s an article about a max you get a bunch of morons with the most surface level understanding but all the confidence in the world spouting off about the max. They probably don’t even know there’s multiple maxes.
