IMNSHO, the problem with MAX was alarm overload. That pretty much
prevented average performance pilots from doing what was needed or
trained. That masked what the actual state of flight was to the pilots
and, in the african case, reducing power to reduce control forces. But
there were _so_ many issues that BA ignored to rush this airframe into
production. Which was the real root cause. Corporate culture. Until
that gets corrected, and supposedly it is, this will happen again,
similar to NASA.

It is a 737, the airframe with the best track record on the planet.
It is too bad they did not have a voting/contention algorithm between
the two angle of attack sensors and chose to only use one as the
authoritative source. That was a boneheaded coding decision. The
other sensor had live data on the network that was there for the using.
It is too bad the pilots failed to absorb the training update telling
them to switch off the system when it was causing control inputs that
were obviously wrong.
It is too bad the pilots did not simply switch it off. I have had
runaway trim motors try to do this to me before and that is something
you learn during primary training.
Even then, you can recover almost all upsets with
“push-power-rudder-roll-climb”.
It is too bad that Boeing did not immediately tell operators to cease
using that system after the first crash.
But this is just one system amongst hundreds on the aircraft, all
tried and true for many years.

The Max is inherently flawed and I'd generally say don't bet on things
with inherent flaws. Think F35 and how long it took to get that kind
of sort of right. The CG is too far forward. Perhaps if they
stretched the aft section a little and swept the wings back a little
but then it wouldn't be a 737 anymore.
I have an idea of building up a list of ISPs with rural exposure and
shorting them because Sarlink is going to blow up a lot of their
business model. In particular, I'd look for double play ISPs with
ARPU above about 75.

Boeing is going to have a good year. The MAX 737 saga is coming
to an end and their while system will be better because of it.
And then it will be forgotten. Just like VW emissions testing...
Even so, I am going to stick with my super high priced index
fund. It is at a historical high and I still dumped more money
into it.

Something like 6 months ago my financial advisor convinced me to
sell my GM stock and buy Boeing. I’ve suspected I did something
stupid ever since. Getting out of GM was probably OK, but I think
Boeing has plenty of room to drop. I am afraid investors may dump
BA as end of year approaches to clean up their portfolio or take
tax losses, and in any case, they are not looking like a well run
company.
So if you want to double down on your Moviepass adventure, you
could buy a bunch of Boeing.
Or how about Frontier Communications? A bargain at less than $1.
5 years ago they were at $100. Bloomberg article a couple days
ago says they are looking for a new CEO ahead of an expected
bankruptcy filing. Which was totally predictable when they took
on a mountain of debt to buy all the areas that Verizon and AT&T
didn’t want. It has to be bottoming out. No where to go but up,
right?

I am thinking of following up my strategic Moviepass investment
with one in PG&E. It has to be bottoming out. No where to go but
up, right?
