When a B737 MAX augered in to the Ethiopian landscape, behinds the scenes dissatisfaction with the newest Boeing commercial liner began to perk to the surface. This was the second of these aircraft to go down in the past six months and in short order nations began grounding their 737 MAX fleets. Just a few hours ago Canada forbade that aircraft from flying through Canadian airspace. The FAA stood firm in defending Boeing’s safety and its own integrity as Democrat apparatchiks began blaming Trump:

….needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!
