> Flight data reveals that on December 4 last year, flight FR1269 dropped more than 2,000ft in a mere 17 seconds.
It's data from last year.
You are really going to try to draw a parallel between this event from last year and the Oklahoma incident? Everything about the Southwest airlines flight suggests pilot error. The plane did not dive unexpectedly at a high rate, it executed a dead perfect final approach, the right descent rate, the right speeds ... 9 miles before the runway it was lined up with.
The article is about an event which took place in December of 2023.
Thank you I missed that, still.. 7 months? Too many incidents in 7 months. If those incidents were spread over 5 years ok, but 7 months.. Nah, ground the Max.
Don't let yourself get caught up in media focus on events that are usually not reported beyond the aviation enthusiast community. Boeing headlines get clicks. The 737 MAX flies thousands of time every day. A couple incidents in 7 months which don't appear to be specific to the model are not really compelling evidence of anything.
Do you think that would be worth the cost?
As opposed to injury and the loss of life by a company which is clearly experiencing severe management and safety challenges? Absolutely.
