Boeing 737 MAX test pilot found not guilty

It seems odd the foreign airlines that actually owned and operated the subject crashed 737 aircraft, were not subjected to intense review and scrutiny of their pilot training and/or aircraft maintenance and operational procedures. What was the FAA actually trying to accomplish in this retroactive investigation of Boeing when no similar domestic accidents or incidents have been recorded? Why wasn't the manufacture of the aircraft's electronic and software programming held accountable?

Is the FAA paid to control foreign airline's operations, maintenance and pilot training procedures?

So now will they start looking for the real culprits of will the investigation end because the designated scapegoat didn’t fall on his sword.

I am so happy that Mr. Forkner was acquitted. The government has tried this tactic many times when they were in the wrong and they needed a scapegoat to blame. I know this because it happened to me. The DOJ has an unlimited supply of taxpayers funds to try a case, but most of their attorneys are bungling fools – they couldn’t get a real job, so they work for the government. Since the jury didn’t take long, the government obviously did not have a real case.

That is good to hear... I always thought that was very far fetched!

I wonder why this trial was held in Fort Worth. The plane was built in Seattle and Boeing is headquartered in Chicago. Maybe the defense wanted it there?

There are Boeing executives who knew they were distributing false information on that system. It's pathetic they got a complete pass.

Boeing could have roasted the brain dead crews who left 94% power on while trying to trim.......all they had to do were treat it like a runaway trim event........
