I feel sorry for all Boeing shareholders right now, I see their stock price falling another 30% before everything returns to normal. What I love about this Boeing story is the fact that I can head to facebook and twitter and talk about the aircraft even though i've never flown on a plane before and people will like my post. If something isn't done about this, Airbus may steal market share from Boeing. On the 20th minute on June 21st 1994, Rashidi became the first Nigerian player to score in the worldcup where we defeated Bulgaria 3-0.

They dont need to be 'intervening' all day, just shut down the auto pilot systems and fly the plane like any other plane, chikena.

Many pilots engage the autopilot during take off and landing, not through out the flight. They can always fly manually.

It seems in these cases the pilots didnt know it was the autopilot he engaged that is nosediving the plane, so he panicked instead of simply disengaging the autopilot.

Try flying a plane for an hour, and then 3hrs and then more hours manually, then you'd see why it's necessary to engage A/P. Anyway, there seems to be a lot of chaotic contradictions, most pilots and Boeing engineers have repeatedly stated that MCAS automatically activates ONLY when the A/P is on OFF position. So this wasn't an A/P issue, but an MCAS software issue, and more, more training on how to disengage this system, at least during the crucial stage of flight.
