@bid Sarcasm,
you are Decidedly on the wrong radio, on this station you say skid
they think shorts.
Hey Sarcasm, you’re on the wrong radio you want VHF not VLF
On this radio when you tell someone to kick the high wing
They will leave a shoe print on the wing, after first measuring to see which
Wing is higher
LOL
Boeing has dug a deep hole as it continued to run it’s corporate mouth:

Enjoy this time with family and friends

There is a difference between PFC and Trim, technically.
There has never been an aircraft lost to a Trim issue, it’s always pilot error.
There is little difference between a Slip and a Skid
A Slip is useful in flight; a Skid is useful in creating a gathering such as a wake
To the commenter below – @blj
1 Have you considered contacting a spiritual medium to convey your explanation
To the flight crews of those ill fated flights. {Semantics}
2 If we lose another aircraft to a MCAS malfunction we are finished, no matter
Who signs of on that aircraft and we drag the FAA down even further!
3 The board is incapable of managing BCA, let alone Boeing in a global market.
Their arrogance would not allow them to relinquish any power to the FAA.
To suggest that the board planed an FAA takeover to absolve them of further
Responsibility, is to ignore their complete incapability of thinking ahead.
Bottom Line MCAS still glitches after band-aid software patches

Let me start by saying MCAS controls the pitch trim (H-stab) which is a SECONDARY flight control system.
Second, if the FAA signs off on each one, then Boeing is absolved of any further issues that may happen. They keep saying it's all them, so.let it be them.
I'm sure the board is good with this, no responsibility. They may have even been pushing an RTS narrative that forced the FAA to take the reins.
Can we as shareholders vote out the board of directors?
We probably will have lay offs :(

Federal regulators now intend to inspect and sign off on every jet In Inventory Individually Before delivery to airlines.

Boeing's problems mount as FAA vows to ramp up oversight of the embattled
737 Max even after it is finally allowed to fly.
The FAA plans to Keep Full Control of Certifying Individual New 737 Max
Planes As They Roll off The Production Line, the regulator said Tuesday.
(IMO) What where the captains of Boeing thinking with MCAS, Nothing!!!
Look at the history of problems with Airbus and its AOA FC systems.
Airbus runs a triple redundancy system. To this day they still have issues.
Only those issues have happened at FL, not critical phase. Add to that
Airbus pilots are trained to fly a computer dominate PFC system.
Whereas Boeing aircraft have always been a Pilot Centric PFC system.
MCAS created a Frankenstein Airbus/Boeing without the flight envelope
protections driven by other sensors.
The captains of Boeing are highly incompetent and completely ignorant.
They have been living in a Blue Bubble isolated, while intoxicated by power
Prestige and a lavish income.
We Will Be Working With the FAA because Management can not be trusted.
