Control surface write-ups are *huge.* The 737MAX design is broken as designed ... and then poorly built.

I actively won't fly one and I've never said that about any other aircraft.

assume you werent around when dc-10s were still active then ?

I did not know the DC-10 had bit of dodgy record and oh hey, it's McDonnell Douglas. Again! What a coinky dink

I read the book "Destination disaster" years ago and its pretty chilling how callous the company was to get the plane out the door.
