Honesty About Boeing Accidents

The firm’s culpability is clear but anyone who cares about air safety (and truth) wants the whole story

By Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. Excerpts:

"a report that the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board issued expressly to highlight its finding that “flight crew performance played a critical role in the accident sequence.”"

"“French aviation safety authorities this week joined U.S. investigators in a harsh critique of the final report by Ethiopian authorities into the March 2019 crash of a Boeing 737 MAX. . . . Both the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the equivalent French agency identified pilot error as a critical contributing factor.”"

"in the Seattle Times article, Mr. de Luis doesn’t deny pilot error played a role"

"it would be idiotic to try a second time to persuade our readers that pilot error wasn’t involved when the world’s premier safety regulator has investigated and found otherwise."
