I'm personally responsible for all global warming
1) Cosmic radiation can change bit states (which is more of an issue at altitude where you get about 300x the amount you get at sea level) and in simulations this has caused errors to occur in the MTAS software
2) Isaac Asimov predicted this would be an issue in the 1950s
In this era military planes were designed without much thought to safety. Just look at the safety record of aircraft such as the Harrier, Starfighter, or Tomcat - widowmakers all.
Those rose tinted spectacles are clear, it's blood that's making them look red.

It will be interesting to see what discounts the customers will demand to take 'new' 737s that could be a year old by the time they are finally modified and certified for service. Boeing won't want to start making genuinely new ones until all the backlog is cleared. They also may have to pay compensation for pilot training since it's unlikely the Max will be certified as identical to the old model now, which was the whole point of the MCAS software...

What size will the market be going forwards? With Greta and here friends on the rampage, there might not be as much growth in aviation as some think.
I agree. If people mobilise and choose not to fly as much, they will be forced to find solutions.
Like increasing flight costs to something more sensible...
Looks like I'll be sailing/driving for the next couple of years at least.....
