There is absolutely no way to make an aircraft 100% safe. Anyone with even the brain of John should know that. The claim that in the event of a sensor failure that a poorly trained pilot could not control the aircraft is no different than it an engine failed or a fire started in the luggage area from something a passenger was carrying. |

Why? https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/NY...ution/84848306 I mentioned US hospital-acquired infection deaths recently which are a huge and growing number. Doctors, administrators, nurses, regulators and insurance carriers all agree this is serious and needs to be rectified. Smart, educated, skilled (and professionally licensed) people with high motivation form committees, hire consultants, invent color codes and checkoff systems, engage in myriad big training classes and seminars and so on. Despite large numbers of capable dedicated people, every program fails. Why? Because our hospitals are filled with sick people, and the wide-spread and sometimes indiscriminate use of antibiotics has created super-bugs. Add to that the visitor and employee vectors. Imagine what the infection rate would be without all the PPE and protocols. The way to beat it would be to put people in bubbles with no visitors and feed them through glove boxes. http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2012/...hristmas-tree/ Maybe hit them with some ultraviolet lights and give the Chlorox. If we're talking specifically about hospital-acquired infections, I'm with Jay. The aircraft safety problem is actually far simpler. The environment of the problem is much more regulated, and the problem is far less influenced by those not directly involved. However, there are factors that are similar. One book I read maybe 15 years ago noted that some doctors fail to maintain proper sanitation or sterilization protocols. Hospitals that allowed even a lowly orderly to anonymously report such behavior saw great improvements in hospital acquired infections. I have no doubt that many doctors would howl mightily if such programs were imposed on them. Q: "What's the difference between God and a cardiac surgeon?" A: "God doesn't think he's a cardiac surgeon." Probably 80% of the work done by my firm is medical malpractice defense. I've seen very few if any malpractice cases based on hospital-caused infections. I do, however, have over a dozen COVID death cases involving the claimed failure to use PPE. I've seen lots of cases involving the treatment of infection that was claimed as malpractice -- everything from MRSA to flesh-eating bacteria to various odd-ball tropical diseases. Some of the therapies are equivalent to injecting Kingsford lighter fluid. -- Jay Beattie. Well, there's your problem. Everyone knows Zippo lighter fluid is the only stuff that really works. |

You don't even know what the MCAS system is, do you. Apparently you sure don't MCA has nothing to do with anti-stall warnings or automatic stall correction that is hampered by loss of an angle of attack and airspeed sensor. I suggest you go back to pretending you're a crew chief. |

You even called it a "MCA" rather then the correct name and jabbering on about stall anti-warning... of the device is "Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS)" do you think you can figure out what "Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation" means? Or do we have to explain it word by word? -- Cheers, John B. |
