That makes everyone now. What a disaster for Boeing

Well that’s that

Maybe not so fortunate

He should consider himself very very fortunate,

lol Stevie

Im fascinated by flight and aviation so to explain the issue here, the suspicion is falling upon the MCAS system which is software new to the MAX 8 that automatically pitches the nose down if it senses an abnormal angle of attack reading. This is possible because the engines on the MAX 8 are larger and farther forward than previous 737's and can cause the plane to nose up immediately following take off. The MCAS is meant to eliminate this. The LionAir crash report isnt finalized but the belief is there was a faulty angle of attack sensor which caused the MCAS to nose down the plane (put it into a dive) and this confused the pilots were didnt know why it was happening or how to stop it. Disengaging the MCAS is apparently easy to do but what is coming out now is that pilots were not sufficiently trained on it. The FAA considered the MAX 8 to be similar enough to the 737NG that it did not require simulator training. Pilots have complained they have not been fully trained. Also, previous auto-pilot issues can be disengaged with manual pressure applied to the control column but that does NOT disengage MCAS. So a pilot experiencing a sudden nose down would instinctively pull back...and nothing would happen. The Lion Air pilots only received 3 hours of online training. As we see above, several pilots have filed reports indicating control issues with the MAX 8. I think its clear that there is an issue with the plane even if its just a matter of insufficient training. I read one account where pilots basically fought the MCAS, trimming nose up as the system tried to nose down, creating a roller coaster flight. I saw that Air Canada's flight attendant union wants the planes grounded or for Air Canada to let employees switch off the plane if they arent comfortable.

Terrible.

Sounds like jets are still high on him and want him back here

Was just about to post the same thing with the same comment!ha

Holy **** is this irresponsible to tweet. He musthave stock on Boeing’s competitors.

Stone is great, no doubt. But that contract would not excite me in Winnipeg. It would make me really really nervous actually. Like you'd have to win some cups in the next couple years because you just know a day of reckoning was coming. If Vegas wins cups, then they can say it was a success and the right thing to do. Let's check back in a few years and see what they're saying.

More groundings.

This seems like a pretty big story. https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/ethiopian-airlines-plane-crash/h_9e291bb50cb99c1c2afa3363a4c65518 Several aviation authorities have grounded the Boeing 737 Max 8, one of the newest and most advanced airplanes. None of the North American authorities have done so though. Lots of talk on news shows with experts answering "if you were scheduled to fly the Max 8 today, would you get on the plane". I wonder how many people have cancelled. I have a flight scheduled in May on the Max 8 (pretty far out so could change) and I was pretty excited to fly on that plane. Sounds like the suspicions are about a safety feature that sees the plane's automation control "angle of attack" to prevent stalling. A sensor may be malfunctioning and causing the system to enter a dive to regain speed to prevent a stall. There were cases of pilots receiving contradictory readings and not realizing they're in a stall so this system would, I guess, help with that. The obvious thing would be for pilots to be able to disengage the system to avoid a nose-dive but I read that many pilots were not fully trained in the use of this system and what could happen if it malfunctions.

There is talk of not having any inductors this year. I think X-Pac said in an interview. So they might just do the host (probably Lawler) and video packages and then have the inductee come right out. Makes sense really, to cut down on talking time. Since WWE creative scripts much of the HOF speeches, they can add more history to the actual speech.

Not really a surprise....but Fox will stand by him

I tried to tell everyone.

It’s weird because Booker is already in. So it’s...well we can guess as to why (diversity!) makes Booker a 2x HOF’er.

Stevie’s Ray is lucky to have a brother like Booker T

imagine having an ego so delicate

Parks. From what I understand they might be planning to reduce staff through retirements but some of his stories definitely come across like they miss he NdP because they benefitted but if they were on the outside looking in they wouldn’t feel the same way. Ive got a friend in nursing who would probably miss the ndp too.
