[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4002395, member: 12508"] This could also be a bargaining tactic by Garuda to save some money. Even if every airline cancelled it's MAX 8 orders, Airbus couldn't fill the demand. The commercial aircraft market is a duopoly. You either deal with Boeing or you deal with Airbus. The latest is that the MCAS problem will be rectified by dialing back it's power, and by adding a second sensor for redundancy, which surprisingly wasn't installed in the first place. Boeing will also provide the full safety package instead of making it optional. Neither Lion Air or Ethiopian Airlines ordered the optional enhancements. Buying an airplane is like buying a car, because the list of options is long, and very expensive, especially avionics. Many low-cost carriers don't opt for safety enhancements. All said, MCAS was poorly designed and executed, and this will probably go down as a case of combined pilot error, and a poorly designed system. All the pilots needed to do was turn it off, which apparently didn't happen. This is all preliminary and has to be confirmed by the final reports, but a lot of highly experienced airline pilots see it this way. I suggest Juan Brown on YouTube. Excellent analysis. [/QUOTE]
