Because Boeing refused to provide them additional training that was needed to make these decisions. Boeing wanted to sell it as an add-on package. And the basic mandatory training they provided was on an iPad instead of simulator.
- village-idiot 7y agoYou’ve got it confused. Boeing did not want to sell the training as an add on package, they didn’t want more training at all. This reduces the cost to purchase the 737 Max, because existing 737 pilots can fly the max without recertification. What was sold as an add on was the system to detect the two AoA indicators disagreeing. This would help, but it probably would have been less effective than MCAS training would have been. Better still would have MCAS read both sensors and disengage when they disagree, with an alarm.
