Why Boeing's 737 MAX 10 May Never Fly Commercially | WSJ 

MDC as in McDonnell Douglas? If so, I agree. The only thing that comes close is the 777X and 787.

I can see by this video that the same Harry Stonecipher crowd of 20 years ago are still at the helm. Clean house and bring HQ back to Seattle!

737 ng 787 and 747-8 hello

737 NG is quite good though

I think it was EASA... allowing Airbus to build their planes in China! As such, Boeing had to lower it's costs tremendously, and with it, the quality of its products

Wait...their airplanes KILLED 823 people and they can't seem to update their planes? And they have the technology at their fingertips?

And the way this news pitch it like Boeing is the victim, lol.

The 757 incidents happened to Airbus too, Air France 447 had the same cause as Birgenair 301 (blocked pitot tube leading to pilot confusion). AeroPeru was straight up the fault of the Ground Crew, American 965 was just a dumb crew too. The fact that Boeing and McDouglas (who bought Boeing in 1997) had a habit of needing two crashes to solve something has happened quite often.

That's right, Boeing knew since 1992 they had to implement it but they didn't do it with the NG series and not with Max. They couldn't imagine they would even build the 737 in 2022 any more back in 92, even older non fbw aircraft like the 767 have Eicas.

@@adriananzano2292 They likely could have done this with the NG. Given that this was the first "glass cockpit" 737. Likely it comes down to wanting to keep a common type rating with earlier models. With the 747 removing the flight engineer's position with the 400 series required a different type rating.

@@Pilotfarmand Airbus' mistakes were decades ago, so understandable. Boeing's mistakes were recent, so shocking.

@@Pilotfarmand I understand that the Max 8 has become the most scrutinized airplane in history, and that reassures me. I recently took a flight in one, actually. However, it doesn’t take from the fact that Boeing prioritized profits over engineering and held undue power over the FAA, even calling them “clowns.” It wasn’t Airbus planes that were grounded for two years after having identified a systemic failure, and it wasn’t Airbus planes the ones on the news for months after having cost 300+ in such a short period of time. I don’t need a degree in aerospace engineering to understand any of that.

@@Pilotfarmand Airbus are far safer. The a340 has never had a fatal crash

Yeah and they paid peanuts to the victims families compared to the billions they paid in fines to the US Govt.

I don’t think the official report on the Ethiopian crash is released yet. The final interim is available. I’ve read the Knkt’s lion air report. 3 times and counting. I don’t see the logic train to Boeing or mcas being the triggering cause. Lion air has a lot to answer for but are getting a pass because it’s easier to go after the big bear. Let me add: the Ethiopian govt is doing the report. They own the airline in which some of their ministers have a financial stake. Just saying.

First Off: 1. Is Boeing Innocent? -No 2. What was training like at the two carriers in question? -TBD I have flown the Max and currently do as a Captain at one of the US carriers that flies it. Now I’m not saying that Boeing doesn’t deserve some responsibility here but the safety record at those two carriers weren’t stellar. Your only as good as the training you receive.

@@chrisgermann6658 737 is the single safest way to travel ever so how exactly is it the case that adding a system its never had which would require greatly increased costs and delays going to achieve a greater level of safety since the issue causing the MAX crashes has been solved and has nothing to do with EICAS?

@@chrisgermann6658 don’t get me wrong. I fly Boeings for a living. I have an interest in them being made properly. But in this specific instance its not obvious why the MAX 10 needs EICAS when that was never the issue associated with grounding the MAX

@@cargopilotguy305 To my knowledge and please correct me if im wrong investigations found that the newly implemented MCAS pitch correction facility would have required fleet operators to invest further in their pilots training as the FAA would have recognized the added technology significant enough that pilots would need to know how to approach any given situation relating to any sudden pitch adjustments via the MCAS system. This ultimately did not happen and was withheld during submission as Boeing execs knew beforehand further financial overheads would be incurred. Don't get me wrong i'm not hating here i've always been very fond of Boeing aircraft my personal favorite being the 777 but it is what it is. Yes the 737 statistically is the safest AC going however this would be prior to the manufacture making a revision in order to compete with the 320 neo and then one thing led to another all in the name of saving $$. This ultimately cost many lives and they even refused to ground the fleet after the initial accident hoping they could engineer a fix in time before a second crash might take place.

the 737 is a frankenplane monster. it wants to be retired.

@@kentofmississippi it may want to.be, but developing a new plane is too expensive. I wonder if a new 737 replacement project would have been more expensive than the damage they had from the fallout of the MCAS kludge. Probably not. But a greedy mangement without basic personal integrity or morals will be happy to continue on the kludge path. After all a quick fix is cheaper than the steady expenditure of Airbus. I wonder how they xan sleep at night.

Plus Airbus aircraft meet current safety requirements and not those stipulated back in the 1960s when the B737 received its type certificate.

I think Steves Jobs said something like this. Usually the tech companies were founded by engineers, pioneers etc, who are really excited about how techonology could change the world.But slowly the company falls into the hands of salesman, focusing on the profits more than anyting else , even lives.

Literally marked 40 years this year since it’s first flight. It’s solid, but old technology. And it only had one generation. To be fair, the 737 frame has been in production for about 55 years across 4 generations. It’s grown too big for its frame.

757 and 767 mech here, can confirm the 777 is a superior aircraft but probably the last good one Boeing developed.

Pilot training is up to airlines. The media likes to ignore the fact that those crashes happened because of incompetent third-world pilots and incompetent third-world airlines. In both crashes, the airlines knew the aircraft were malfunctioning. They knew their were problems. And in both cases the airlines ignored the problems, refused to conduct the simple maitence that would fix the problems, and didn't fully inform the pilots.

@@TheOwenMajor Sad! Booeing put software into the aircraft and told no one.

@@benwilson6145 Because they didn't need to. MCAS was simply an additional mode on an existing system. Auto trim on the 737 was not new, it was on the very first aircraft. And the procedure to correct malfunctioning trim also did not change, the procedure the pilots should have followed has never changed. Malfunctioning trim does not cause a crash in the western world. It causes crashes when you have pilots that only have their job because their national airline needs to hire local.

@@TheOwenMajor Glad you read the Official report!!!!

@@TheOwenMajor Lies lies and damnable lies. What basic training is required is driven by the airplanes themselves and implemented by the airlines. Excuses for Boeing hiding MCAS for profit, even after their planes killed people, is how we got into this mess.

I generally avoid the 737 in general.

If I’m honest, I sort of wonder why any airline would want any Boeing aircraft in their fleets. In Airbus flight decks there’s a safety system so that if one pilot starts making mistakes that could endanger the plane, reasons ranging from being arrogant enough to ignore company policy, getting confused, to something medical like a seizure or something then the other pilot can effectively lock the erring pilot out of the controls. I imagine it’s preferable for it to be a momentary problem and equal control can be restored. The erring pilot couldn’t retake control without physically attacking the one with the priority control. And for awhile I was convinced that Boeing must have an equivalent, but then I learned they don’t.

Why be afraid of the changes when it worked properly before?

The pilot will be CONFUSED which airplane he is flying? Are you for real?

Sounds sensible, but they correctly don't trust Boeing anymore

@@paulpark1170 Ahh yes, i am for real. Most 737 pilots are certified on multiple models. Moving the controls in only 1 model could cause issues. Its not like jumping from a 737 to an Airbus A320. All these variants of the 737 Max are virtually identical. Imagine you owned 3 cars. All of the same make & model. And from the outside they looked just about the same, abit ones longer than the others, but in the drivers seat they are identical. Identical dashes. And they feel the same to drive on the road. One had the wipers on the left stock with the directional, the other 2 had the wipers on the right. You drive all 3 cars every day, constantly swapping between the 3. When you go to hit the wipers, sometimes you'd reach for the wrong side, guaranteed, and go 'oh whoops, other car has them on that side'. Same concept here, except instead of windshield wiper controls, its warning messages and alerts. it adds a few precious seconds, having to remember 'ok in this model the controls i need are here, but in all other models there over here'. Seconds that are precious in a real emergency. And remember the pilots are jumping between the 3 variants all day long. I.E. United already has the Max 8 & Max 9 and has ordered the Max 10 as well. The same pilots will be flying all 3 guaranteed. Pilots don't fly 1 plane per day, they usually fly several different planes per day, at least for domestic flights like the 737 is primarily used for. Its not like their jumping from a 737 to a 777 where its obvious what their flying at all times. All 3 models of the max look almost identical (they just get longer & longer) & most importantly FEEL identical to fly. Yes absolutely in emergencies or even in general the pilots might forget if their flying a -8 or a -9 or a -10 variant. I agree an updated cockpit layout is smart, but not on this generation solely due to the fact that 2 models of this generation already exist. Now add a 3rd model that pilots will be certified to fly all 3, and on 1/3 of the models the most critical controls are in a different spot? Not smart at all.

Nonsense. Today's 737 MAX is vastly different from the original 737 classic in systems and design elements. Boeing initially screwed up the MCAS FCS but has now fixed its flaws. It has evolved like the Airbus A320 family has evolved from its early 1980s form. Neither family is the same as their original iterations, many detail changes were made over the years.

@@RagShop1 you just shot yourself in the foot there. The whole reason MCAS exists is exactly because the 737 is an old airframe which is not designed to carry larger modern engines. There are only so many updates you can put on a tired airframe before you should start again with a clean slate. And just so you know the A320 is two decades younger than the 737.

So what would happen to Southwest Airlines with a forcibly retired 737?

L take from a man with a room temperature IQ

No , thats not the dated plane design which was the cause of the crashs, but negligence of the mcas system was a factor. Also ,the choices of plane designs only concern them. The mcas is not here because of a too old airframe with new engines, you dont get it at all. It's just the easy and very unprecise explanation from tv. The max doesnt need the mcas to fly normally. The pitch up tendency is not constant and is only a problem in certain situations...the mcas is not a software installed to keep the nose down, it is just a manual flight aid installed in order to avoid costly pilot trainings by mimicking the behavior of the ng to the pilots in those particular situations with a high aoa. Otherwise this pitch up tendancy would make the 737 max a tottaly different plane which requires a new pilot training. So Please, stop spreading nonsenses from the TV, before trying to tell boeing what to do.

I’ve seen it but they got a lot of things wrong and now suddenly all these people are “experts” on what’s wrong with the MAX

The Boeing CEOs don’t, they fly in larger Boeing jets

Should be top comment

The two 800 Max crashes were Piloted by 3rd World Pilots that Failed to prevent the accident. Not ONE 800 MAX Crashed in the US. Before the Crash, the nearly 50 carriers that flew the Max were using it for an estimated 8,600 flights per week without one single incident! I fly the 800 MAX almost every week! Love It!

@@trex9368 No airplane accidents pinpoint to a single point of error. It is always a list of contributors combined that caused the problem. While 3rd world pilots can possibly be a contributor (which investigators believed it was not by the way), it does not excuse Boeing from the design flaw of the (invisible) MCAS system, by having no redundancy for the AOA sensor which led to the crash in the first place. This design flaw would not be accepted by the older Boeing staff, and I would say it is not acceptable to require pilot skills to cover incompetent designs from aircraft manufacturers, which the 737 MAX clearly is compared to Airbus.

@@ccloak Fact: Not One Boeing 737-800 MAX Crashed in the US. US Pilots are better trained than any in the world.

The 747 does not sell, why waste resources on it ? The 777 twin engine essentially killed it years ago and the 777x will further kill it.

Not poor Boeing! They put the stock price ahead of innovation. They knew the small jet market was changing a decade before the MAX8. They chose to do nothing because innovation costs money which affects the quarterly earnings. MBA thinking at play.

Airlines moving from one version to another too quickly should be blamed for that not FAA regulators.

@@4evertrue830 But airlines have been doing this for ages. For example, an Air France A32S pilot can fly an A319 one day, and a A321 the other. I believe the only issue is the awareness of the extra length. Same thing with a KLM 737 pilot that can rotate between -700s, -800s and -900s. It doesn't make sense to need additional training to fly a Max 10 when you're type rated on a 8 and 9.

@@cargopilotguy305 Negative…. Those pilots entered a deep stall and pulled back on the stick for nearly 6 minutes. Horrible airmanship and blatant pilot error. Every Airbus hater uses 447 as an example, but it’s totally invalid. I could list five examples where Airbus automation and protections specifically prevented a crash which has actually occurred on a Boeing aircraft, but you never hear about it because… well… it didn’t crash. Birgenair 301 (Boeing 757) was no different - wasn’t FBW but pitot tubes were likely blocked. Pilots failed to identify a stall, and pancaked into the ground like 447. The difference is that the Birgenair crash would have been impossible with the Airbus backups, while the 447 flight would have still resulted in a crash as well if it was a similar Boeing type (assuming crew actions were equally pathetic.) SOP and training for the A330 dictate that you fly pitch and power in the event of unreliable airspeed (which the plane TOLD them.) Also, Airbus invented the BUSS / backup speed scale system which is standard on all Airbus wide bodies and optional on their narrow body aircraft. Even in the event of complete pitostatic failure, the computers can calculate a safe operating speed margin based on power, AoA, and other data, displayed where the speed tape usually resides on the PFD. Yet another layer of protection you get on an Airbus (for over a decade now) and something Boeing is just starting to figure out. Only one of their models has a similar system. 🤦‍♂️

Per the video, it’s not so simple.

I'm with you as it seems like Boeing has nothing new to bring to the market and is getting eaten up by so many many other companies and not just AirBus...

Adding the system to the plane would single it out from the rest of the max family and therefore defeat the purpose of its appeal to airlines because training pilots to fly the same plane with 2 systems is timely and not an efficient form of operations. It’s not an engineering problem.

@@frankiexv4533 The engineering challenge is to incorporate the secondary system into the existing system. The inital mistake was attempting to make this transparent to the pilots but a migration would not hurt the sales and it is just an additional system and a more advanced plane.

@@superbmediacontentcreator there is no crew alerting system on the 737, it’s the only Boeing airplane that has never had it.

And if you read the report, u can see that the crews in both flights did not know their memory item, for JT610, the crew did not know 2 separate memory item.

@@eleventy-seven It's perfectly stable. Transport Canada actually requested Boeing remove MCAS and replace it with more training, which you can't do with a stabilizing feature.

@@eleventy-seven This is a false narrative spread by the ever incompetent main stream media. I'm no Boeing fan as of late, but the Max is inherently stable. As others have pointed out, MCAS was put in to make the Max behave more like the NG in very specific and rare situations. It has absolutely nothing to do with stability or centre of gravity.

@@eleventy-seven you completely missed the topic. No one mentioned MCAS.

Funny that you say you don’t trust Boeing with your life, even though they have millions of flights safely take off and land daily. You do realize that Airbus has had catastrophic crashes as well?

I'm a former military pilot and current corporate driver. I only qualify that because it informs my views. I will not book a flight on a MAX8. I will fly all day long on a pre-McDonnell Douglas design such as a Next Gen 73, 75, 76, 777 or 74. The MD merger ushered in a Boeing who only values stock price and actively rejects safety.

@@amamdawhatever I trust ur insight based on ur experience and expertise. that explains a lot already.

I 100% agree. I am flying in a week and I read an article saying that some companies, when using a 737 max (yes it is back flying trust me) don't mention it. And on my ticket there is a flight that has no mention of the aircraft used. I contacted them and they told me "we will know last minute". Honestly if I see that this is a Max, i will freak out. But as usual nobody will follow me among the passengers so I'll emd up being taken for a crazy and or anxious person affraid to fly.

I doubt the max 11 and on will ever be a thing, with the stretched airframe the aircraft would need to sit higher on the ground along with a bunch of other changes. It would be a big redesign and most likely not worth the cost. They really should just bring back the 757 though. It would compete well with the a321 xlr I think

@@chrishutchins8448 Oh, I agree. I believe that the xlr has been popular because there are no other options. A new 757 would be great!

Cue in 747 (-8f and -8i) and 777 (-8 and -9). Fortunate for Boeing, 747-8 turned out to be mostly trouble-free during the launch and deliveries to the airlines.

But hey... Congress "must" know best because they got a 10 minute briefing on the matter to press for such laws 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Airbus has EICAS, why doesn't Boeing??? We're in 2022. Are they still building the first Gen of 737's?

So have them train more. If you’re certified for a MAX 10 you won’t fly a MAX 9 so that shouldn’t cause confusion. Boeing isn’t the victim, all the people who died because of their negligence are.

I can agree. I just hope that they can solve the MAX-10 issue, before it can get more back-fire. They really need this airplane in service already.

EICAS isn’t that complicated. It just sorts warning/caution messages by priority.

Don’t pull so hard

As a former 737-700 pilot but with valid type rating I agree with you.

The MAX 10 isn't certified yet. The MAX 8 and 9 were certified before they set the new regulation.

Most if not all Airbus aircraft have the same cockpit though… A318, A319, A320, A321 and A330 all have the same exact cockpit. The A350 and the A380 have similar cockpits but all in all, those newer cockpits still follow the same flow and layout as the aforementioned aircraft. The only Airbus aircraft to not follow their general cockpit layout is the A220 and that aircraft was designed by a different manufacturer so…

@@darinseansablan8977 Well good on Airbus for having that forethought. They should have redone the A220 when they bought it along with Bombardier. Boeing lacked that forethought and just has to pay the price. Instead, they tried to shoehorn it in when it just wouldn't fit, all because American dangled a carrot in front of them. They took it only to choke on it

Yes, you're correct

Yes and had it since its development in the late 80's

Their goal is to avoid a proper certification process, because they know they don't have the internal quality control to detect shoddy products.

It's not the company, it is the way the game is played at all levels...

The 737 has one of the safest records despite its 2 max crashes. It didn’t have the crew alerting system, and it has nothing to do with the MCAS software that caused the plane to crash in the first place.

@@frankiexv4533 The 737 Max has a horrible safety record: 8 times higher than the next closest airplane from Boeing or Airbus. It's an unsafe pile of s*** that never should have been allowed in the air.

@@frankiexv4533 Still a bone-headed decision by Boeing to make a cheaper version of the Max 8 by not adding that alert system, directly causing their demise. MCAS is fine except it needs triple redundancy like Airbus for those unlikely but plausible situations. EICAS made the 737M fairly safe and very likely prevented those 2 crashes. Without it, not very safe, and that's on Boeing for making that cheaper version.

The Model -8 that was involved in the crash is currently flying safely with airlines and doesn't have the EICAS... The absence of such a system wasn't the cause of the crash , and the MAX doesn't necessarily need it to fly safely
