I did my best to explain, but I never flew this plane. I only flew the ancient 737-200, and I never liked it. I have since found this video which gives pretty good explanation. There is going to be a lot of people in the hot seat on this! YACCster, ANGUS, loaderXI and 5 others 4 3 1 Awards

(Fly Air France. They don't have any 737 Max ;-)). NB: Airbus planes can crash as well but only when the pilot wants to commit suicide. Awards
