How many times have you considered the type of airplane you were on? How many times did you check that you were not flying on a 737 MAX? If you are like me, you probably checked every single time.
Two critical failures have turned Boeing and the aviation industry upside down over the last years. The first one, the crash of Lion Air Flight 610 on October 29, 2018. The second, the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019. The main reason for both crashes was a software defect in the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that caused both airplanes to nosedive while the pilots lost control.
