Oh it is the AoA...governed in the MAX case by a flawed MCAS system that Boeing didn’t adequately inform, train or certify. Seems Boeing did a shifty quick-one to get the thing certified to compete against the A320 Neo - possibly self-certified!!! Heads gonna roll in Boeing and the FAA. Europe’s EASA refusing to accept Boeing’s info and results. FBI heading the inquiry. Boeing is/was the US’ most prominent exporter and revenue maker - that may change.

China cancelled around 120 units, and Russia cancelled around 140. That’s a LOT OF BIG DOLLARS. Several European airlines cancelled too (Ryanair and potentially Aer Lingus, Iberia, Norwegian, Finnair) It could sink Boeing. Airbus will benefit enormously.

I guess it’s now “If it’s Boeing I ain’t going”
