When governments stop people doing things it's not the fault of the stopped people. The airliners fly just fine. Components of machinery fail. Engines for example can fail. What to do when they do is what matters. Some things are mission critical and failure is designed against even with very high cost. Some things such as a convenient and faster automatic trim adjustment are not mission critical so failures are acceptable, so only 1 sensor might be installed instead of multiple. Blaming Boeing for poor piloting is unreasonable if Boeing is not in charge of pilots. Normally airlines ensure pilots are skilled in flying. Boeing provides operating manuals. It's like the fashion for mass panic "lockdown". If I accidentally spill some white powder in an airport and the whole place including incoming and outgoing flights and nearby cities, grains and everything goes into government enforced "LOCKDOWN" then that's their own mass panic stupidity, not my fault. A good jihadist plot would be to deliberately put white powder in airports, train stations etc then phone in a white powder warning. 100 white powder threats could shut down a whole country for days. Some poor piloting flew a couple of airliners into the ground. I guess the airline training was the problem. Mqurice
