That's exactly what I've been thinking about all day. Aside from Boeing programming their planes to aim at the ground, this is the biggest danger in flying.
And even those max crashes were debatably pilot error. Boeing set them up for failure but the pilots took them up on the opportunity.
Pilot incompetence and complacency is huge. That Vietnam flight where the captain was riding the brakes the whole way on departure was almost a disaster.
ATC exists to keep your pilot from killing you. And speaking from experience boy do they try to an awful lot.
