Allowing BA to essentially self certify was a failure at the FAA level.
I would gladly be the first passenger on a MAX when they start to fly again.

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?
