I can't even watch those snippets of Trudeau you posted on this podcast. It just makes my blood boil just to hear his voice. These guys are Canadian heros -- or British heros, for taking our government to task on it ridiculous vaccine travel mandates. We must remember that the government only 'suspended' the travel mandates -- they didn't terminate them permanently, so they can bring them back. So, it isn't moot -- it still hangs over our heads.
What is there to say? The rule of law derives its interpretation from Canada’s constitution. The rules based order derives its interpretation from the, novel rules based order, promulgated by a small cadre of those who control debt, taxation, and policies and are internationalists.
These are the people who denigrate nationalism, community, family, while promulgating the most vile form of state control Fascism — which ultimately devolves and then becomes Totalitarian.
The Totalitarians then make all the rules! The rule of law is then subverted and made meaningless. There is then no countervailing body of evidentiary presentation and logic.
If the state declares anyone in breach of the rules — which become more arbitrary and increasingly deterministic as time goes on — those who do so may not even know that they have breached some new rule or new interpretation of an existing rule. Paradoxically this sort of chameleon like state, is stressful and chaotic. Liars like Trudeau exemplify chaos and arbitrariness.
Think here his abusive misuse of the truckers — whom I am certain came to Ottawa in good faith, used them for his own political purposes. Even Kings heard their constituents.
Prime Minister Trudeau is an internationalist serving internationalist conformity enforced by the novel rules based order.
There remains only a remnant of those who know the difference between the rule of law and the novel rules based order. …And so millions of people readily give up their individual sovereignty to the Trudeaus’ of the world.
What we are witnessing in Israel is a manifestation of the novel rules based order at work. The Israelis are simply ignoring the rule of law. Netanyahu will not be curbed by a process which goes back to the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is considered to be the first declaration in Western history to impose the rule of law. By signing this document King John conceded that he as King of England was subject to the laws of the realm like every other citizen.
What we are experiencing is the breakdown of a civilizational concurrence about what constitutes a universal understanding and is rapidly becoming arbitrary.
The Canadian Prime Minister is a man who considers himself above the law. Tyrants like Trudeau, Netanyahu, Macron, Biden are underwritten by powerful interests few people know exist. And these few are least interested in subordinating themselves to the rule of law.
For them it is simple — might makes right! The average person is seduced by carefully and artfully crafted public communiques they have no armour to deflect.
Their words in fact have no meaning other than to convey to the audience their ineptitude and magnify their presumed superiority — all the while pretending to some inside knowledge ordinary people cannot possibly be told .
This of course is intended to defenestrate the people’s objectivity and amplify their subjective fears and anxieties. We are what Hilary Clinton dubbed us — deplorables.
We are deplorable because we object to the arbitrary power she wields. No rule of law for her!
It must be noted and will not be appreciated — women are far more easily seduced by men like Trudeau — even when delivered with the least convincing sincerity. He uses words to seduce. The same old time tested drivel pouring out of the mouths of the same kind of men since time began.
Women, you surely know this. Some men are particularly vile swine. Politics attract these men like flies to the barnyard. C’mon women lead the way! Demand your menfolk get out their pitchforks.
Of course Trudeau references children while he offers his beguiling sentiments. His type have been know as wolfs’ in sheep’s clothing for a long, long time.
Trudeau has been working on his delivery for years, wanting to seem sincere. His delivery is as oleaginous as a bad carnival huxter.
No matter how often they fool women the women are continually fooled, i.e. seduced.
Trudeau is a confection, he with his calculated longish hair, rolled up sleeves, cosmetically altered false chin, and faked sincerity.
Remember though he is a proxy for powerful interests. Otherwise know as a puppet.
write a legal notice and tell them its illegal to harass especially since they were caught in illegal seizure of bank accounts. Unreasonable and unjust. The ARRIVE CAN APP was given to these companies with no security clearance and Trudeau lied to you all the other day. I am sure lots of Canadians saved the investigation outing this of the arrivecan scammers long time ago. Put this in your letter raising the homeland security issues and why a double standard.

Great interview by and with truly exceptional people In terms of grit, calmness and rationality. However, I propose it's a blind spot to make it all about Canada and the management team in place at the time. That's how normies operate. It would have been nice to pull back and reflect that the tyranny is/was global and in lockstep.
Wonderful interview, Trish! I was unaware until I watched it that Regina Watteel had published a book exposing the so-called science behind the vaccine mandates. She was the People's Party of Canada candidate in Ottawa Centre in the 2021 federal election. She put her statistical expertise to work in her campaign, making a powerful case against the vaccine mandates. She and her her husband are also very nice people and it was an honour to work on her campaign. I plan to order a copy of her book and I hope many of your viewers do likewise, if they have not already done so.
I have been a PPC member since the party's founding in 2018, but never heard about Dr Watteel until I came across her interview on Leighton Grey's podcast a few weeks back. Her book is on my reading list as well.
Amazing interview. Anyone look at the photo of the guy yelling at the freedom convoy and think he resembles the guy with the mask and confederate flag? A plant. The nazi flag bearer had no gloves in cold weather indicating he was a photo op and out only to take a pic to use in the media to frame the convoy because thats what government and media did...FRAME THE PROTESTORS. Change the theme of what it was about..,vaccine mandates that were a human rights abuuse. In fact days before the canada and us border mandate was implemented the WHO who they lied they listen to told countries not to have vaccine mandates at borders. THE WHO already knew.
There was a man yelling that might be a government worker because of where he was yellimg from and that picture is online. Seems no one knows who he is. True North news might be interested. He resembles the comfederate sign holder. The pic is fuzzy. Another frame up used by media to subvert the truth of the protest. Can someone verify that Charter violations and pursuit of justice can bring free legal representation. Judge Mosley in the Federal Court case ruling heard Omar khadir"s case. He oversees national security cases. The arrivecan app is a national security case as they werenot properly vetted for security. They all knew and looked the other way. Roxham Road refugees are not exactly that.as they are coming from America a country with a constiitution human rights so why are they allowed in at Roxham Rd unless we have drug cartels coming in with guns and drugs and MS 13 violent gang connected to Gabriel Woortman the nova scotia massacre. Let them stay in America where they came into. No free pass to Canada. They are Americas problem unless?????
I am still listening to the podcast but I just heard them say that he (Trudeau) was planning the wedge while publicly saying the opposite. Which makes me wonder what wedge issue they are planning for the next year to 18 months?
Citizens are not fully aware of the treason. But it goes back a long time as per CSIS whistleblower but sock boy has been enriched to no end by it. A Prague newspaper said it best...its not the fool Trudeau to put most of the blame to its the even bigger fools who put him there. Thats his MPS and voters and paid media.
Trish at the end of this podcast you talked about Coutts and predicting a constitutional crisis if we ever get to the bottom of what happened at Coutts. I hope that you are right, but I have doubts. As you said, the whole Coutts narrative seems to be peeling off with the release of the Morin and Lysak, but I am sure you have noted, as have I, that again, once the media covered their release, that was it. No more coverage, no more questions, no editorials, nothing -- and that includes the alternative or conservative media like True North. You mentioned someone getting those documents under a Freedom of Information request -- Rupa for instance. Well where is Rupa on this, I haven't heard a peep out of her. Rebel News -- the coverage Ezra Levant has been giving the Coutts Four thus far, still seems to imply he thinks they might be guilty. The Toronto Sun has been mum, as has the National Post. Where is Rex Murphy calling this out?
As well, no one in the Conservative Party seems to be interested in grilling Trudeau et al on this gross miscarriage of justice. Even Danielle Smith and her AG -- are quiet as church mice. So it will have to be earth shaking, something the mainstream media can't possibly ignore to get a full account of what really went on at Coutts. The conspiracy of silence around this whole affair is disconcerting, because it it coming from all sides.https://roxannehalverson.substack.com/p/coutts-4-conspiracy-of-silence-continues
Canada and the USA are a lot alike. We both elected idiots to run our countries. We can do better in the future. 2024 for the USA. 2025 or sooner for Canada.
Hey Trish, still love your stuff, you are my go to on every long car ride.
I caught up on a couple episodes on the road to Ottawa this past family day weekend, and you mentioned the Boeing 737 Max fiasco in both episodes.
Although your main points were bang on both times, you got several details wrong both times as well. I suppose it's minor, but I think it would be better if you got it right.
First, there were only two fatal crashes due to the design flaw. I think you stated there were three.
Second, you implied that the company was too cheap to update the platform and improperly put newer engines on an outdated plane. I think it's important to clarify this point from an engineering perspective. It is certainly true that the 737 platform was never originally designed to handle the newer (and much larger) high bypass Jet engines, it is not accurate to say that they did poor engineering to make it happen. The cost of bringing a new platform to market today is almost completely prohibitive for airlines.
I will offer up as evidence, the Bombardier CSeries was one of the last companies worldwide to bring a brand new platform to market, and they went bankrupt -- and not only because of Boeing's dirty tricks.
Airbus -- who ultimately purchased the CSeries that the Canadian taxpayers paid for -- kept updating their older platforms with newer engines and Boeing needed to bring a competitive offering to the market. The challenge for Boeing was their 737 platform -- the competitor to the A320 platform -- was older and the plane didn't sit high enough to simply fit the new engines underneath. So they got creative and mounted the engines ahead and a bit higher than they typically would on a plane.
Although it was not ideal, technically there was absolutely nothing wrong from an engineering perspective with doing that. The problem though begins because of the effects of the change.
For financial reasons, Boeing wanted the plane to behave identically to prior versions of the 737. This was very important, because if it deviated in any way, it would require airlines to force any pilots who were already certified to fly an older version of the 737 -- and a lot of airlines were using those planes -- to undergo training to understand the changes and recertification. Obviously this would incur a cost to the airline purchasing the new planes and so it would make the newer planes slightly less competitive. UNLESS it behaved exactly the same. Then the pilots just had to do some quick little simulator training (almost nothing) and they could fly the new planes with little to no cost to the airline.
This fact was critical, because by moving the engines they changed the balance of the plane and under heavy thrust, it did not behave like the old 737 and would pitch up.
This is where the design started to go wrong. The engines and their placements, did not have any fundamental flaw or safety problem, but now in order to hide the new behaviour, they added an autopilot function to make an adjustment in the controls to make the plane behave like the old 737.
This was the safety and design flaw and it relates to a fundamental choice Boeing made with respect to how all their autopilots functions were designed. Boeing always designed their autopilot functions in a way that the pilot controls would always move the control surfaces of the plane, and any autopilot functions would mechanically move those pilot controls so the pilot knew what was happening and could decide to physically override anything with many movement of controls. The functions of all the autopilot features were also very explicit and the pilots were trained to know what they did.
This differed fundamentally from Airbus designs where the pilot give input to electronic controls and which talks to a computer, and the computer decides how to move the plane controls depending on the "mode" it is in. This meant that a plane could completely override what a pilot was telling the plane to do.
These were fundamental philosophies that any pilot trained on the relevant planes knew and relied on.
Now in this case, Boeing needed to use an implicit autopilot function -- that the pilot couldn't turn on or off, and in fact was never even told existed -- in order to make the new plane "feel" and behave like the old one.
They might have even gotten away with this EXCEPT they made a fundamental safety flaw next. The new "hidden" autopilot (MCAS) system was designed with a confusing interface, and even worse it relied on a pair of sensors (you always have two sensors in case one breaks) but it was only attached to one of the two, so if one happened to fail, it gave the autopilot function bad data. It gets even worse. The indicator light that would have told a pilot that the two sensors were not agreeing (meaning one of them was malfunctioning) was sold as an upgrade option which lower cost airlines (like the ones that crashed) never purchased. So in other words, they implemented a confusing autopilot function, without explaining to the pilots how it fully worked, that relied on a single point of failure of a part that will eventually fail, AND they sold planes without the option to tell the pilot that the part was malfunctioning.
This was the horrific sequence of poor design, engineering, and pricing features that led to two crashes before the FAA suspended the planes from flights.
The engines and the platform engineering was fine. Yes, the engine design and platform led to the poor choices that were made down the road and led to the crashes.
It is important to note that the North American carriers who purchased the 737 Max like WestJet etc all purchased the upgrades that would have indicated to the pilots that the sensor wasn't working. The two jets that crashed did not have that option on and so the pilots had no clue as to what was wrong and the plane basically flew them into the ground on it's own.
All of the signs of the design flaw were readily known after the first crash, and the plane should have been suspended immediately. I remember seeing the telemetry of it before the second crash and it certainly merited a close investigation, but this is where the politics and industry capture of the regulatory agencies reared it's head. It wasn't until the second crash when the FAAs (and Canada CTSB) were forced to ground the planes until the problem was fixed.
The fix was not complicated. Hook the MCAS to both sensors. Make the sensor fault indicator light mandatory on all versions. Fix the override MCAS interface, and train the pilots on it's operation. After that, there is nothing wrong with the plane or it's design.
So it wasn't the engines or them being cheap about the platform that caused the crashes. They cut safety corners in how they designed the MCAS systems and they violated pilot trust by hiding the function in order to save the airlines money in training and certification.
I got the data about the planes and the updates from a wonderful documentary and an investigative journo. The 3rd plane came from an Al Jazeera report. I see if I can find the reference for you. Thanks for the note....always grateful for a quick correct.
Hi Trish, which documentary? I'm curious how they position the engine decision.
I am certain many people will deride it as a cost measure -- which it was -- but that doesn't mean it was bad engineering.
The MCAS implementation was certainly bad engineering, in the efforts to cut costs which is the worst sort of malfeasance.
As far as I can tell, there are only 3 major incidents involving the Max and only two were crashes. The latest incident involved decompression from faulty door plugs (happened in January) but there was no crash or loss of life. The latest issue, is a problem of assembly which is completely unrelated to the MCAS caused crashes. (when they inspected similarly configured planes, they found some other loose door plugs)
Downfall....The Case Against Boeing. I thought it was terrific. Let me know what you think. Really sad how the company moved from Seattle, too. The city was so proud of its connection to Boeing. Then all hell broke loose.
I watched it this afternoon, and yes, it is a very a good documentary. It brought back all my memories from that time period. At the time, I was quite active on some aircraft safety forums and I remember discussing all the data as it came out, and it came out quickly. It was pretty obvious to everyone there, the plane should have been grounded after the first crash.
The documentary didn't talk about one of the more interesting stories surrounding the crashes. I believe it was in the case of the first plane that crashed, the pilot who had flown the plane immediately prior had encountered the AoA sensor failure and subsequent MCAS problems. Somehow, riding the roller coaster, he managed to figure out what was wrong and either disabled the system or mitigated it quickly enough. If I recall correctly, he then reported the fault and some mechanics looked at the plane and he went home. Sadly, the mechanics either didn't properly fix the part or it wasn't showing faulty on the ground, and the pilots in the next flight in the morning were not as lucky and crashed. I vaguely recall (the forum history is lost) that we knew about this story pretty early on as well.
Going back to the documentary, I found the business portion interesting and there is no question about the reduction in quality culture. This quote was super interesting: "They drove the company as if it was making washing machines, dishwashers... ". I read many years ago -- I think at the time of the 787 fiascos circa 2009 -- about the changes in quality culture, and it turns out a lot of the executives at the "new" Boeing were former lieutenants under Jack Walsh at GM. Washing machines and dishwashers indeed.
The documentary pretty much confirms what I said. The driving cost motivation was to make the plane behave like the old one. If it was different, the FAA would have required pilot simulator training which adds a lot of cost to purchasing new planes and Boeing had promised no new training would be required. Thus, the die was cast.
"And because there could be no additional pilot training, there was tons of motivation within the company to either build a design that doesn't have significant differences, or potentially to cover up a design that does." (~1:01:00)
From there it plays out as we see from the emails in the documentary: "If we emphasize MCAS is a new function there may be a greater certification and training impact". This is precisely why they hid it from everyone including pilots.
The irony is they might have even gotten away with hiding it had they not made the rookie design mistake of relying on a single sensor that would inevitably fail -- as described by the pilot in the documentary. The two mistakes combined -- No training or knowledge of the hidden system, combined with a fatal flaw in the hidden system -- simply made it a matter of time before a plane crashed. The FAA's own analysis after the first crash pretty much says the same thing, and it was criminal they didn't ground the plane after predicting 15 more similar crashes over the life of the plane.
The documentary talked about the fact the pilots would have had 10 seconds to recognize the problem and disable the system, but they didn't note a more minor detail that the indicator of the AoA sensor failure was a software option on the plane -- something that might have clued in the pilots more quickly -- and the two airlines that had crashed, had not purchased those "additional features" so it was not available to those pilots.
When you add in regulatory capture and corrupt regulators who didn't force Boeing to ground the plane, and you have a second crash before other countries took the matter into their hands and forced the hand of the US and the FAA (and Transport Canada who followed the FAA).
The documentary gets all the technical details right IMO, and never blames the use of the platform or the new engines, which I believe you implied in at least one of your podcasts. It IS an important part of the story, but it is not an engineering fault.
From the 80's to the 2000's this business story repeated itself across almost every regulated industry. It was a trend where regulators "outsourced" quality and regulation to the industries. This includes oil and gas (Transocean/BP), Pharmaceuticals (too many problems to note) and the airline industry. The outcome was predictable, and in some cases, the results were seen earlier, and in some, later. I would argue the Boeing problem showed up already in the 2009 timeframe when they shipped their newest plane the 787 and they were plagued by manufacturing problems of the sort the engineer noted in the documentary. Fortunately, none of those problems resulted in a loss of life. But obviously Boeing didn't really change their "new" culture and the graduates of the Jack Welsh era continued to reign supreme.
Fundamentally, the engineering bones of the 737 Max are fine and aside from the recent door bolt issue (a manufacturing problem again) the plane has a very good record since it returned to service and there are a lot of them flying. I remember friends talking about the first crash on facebook at the time, and I told them I wouldn't want to fly on that plane until they sorted out the MCAS issue. I would fly on the plane today because I haven't seen any evidence of fundamental problems outside the MCAS system, problems that really were not that hard to fix.
The last thing I will note, is that Airbus does not have clean hands. Many Canadians might remember Brian Mulroney accepting a briefcase of money in exchange for a massive Air Canada purchase of A-320 aircraft, which happens to be the direct competitor to the B-737. This occurred precisely during the time Airbus was taking all that market share from Boeing so we have an idea how that happened. That plane (A-320) and it's offspring, have a long history of fume events which have probably harmed a vast number of passengers and crew. Most people don't even know about it or that they themselves might have been harmed but it is by far the most dangerous part of air travel today IMO. That plane was the platform for the A320 NEO which triggered the creation of the 737 Max. Strange world.
Trish, early in the podcast you mused that perhaps Canadians are too passive, too polite, too nice. I am very much inclined to agree. One of the things I admire about our neighbours to the south is their prickliness. I've noticed that Albertans seem to show their middle fingers to Ottawa far more than other provinces. It would be nice if that sentiment spread. It would be great if we were all flying a Gadsden flag with a hissing goose on it.
We believe you. The organized crime both government and italian russian chinese etc mixed together. Where because they refuse to hold crooked cops accountable or go after organized crime from the top down these criminals run rampant. How about seizing the real criminals bank accounts Chrystia Freeland after police doing undercover operations reveal wiretaps with the proof. Infrastructure Ontario in a construction trade scandal states external investigations needed yet the ontario government hires crooked cops. Where a premier sold drugs to children had prostitutes and he becomes premier. He is blackmailed by the crooks of covid. He lacks courage to reveal it.
I can't even watch those snippets of Trudeau you posted on this podcast. It just makes my blood boil just to hear his voice. These guys are Canadian heros -- or British heros, for taking our government to task on it ridiculous vaccine travel mandates. We must remember that the government only 'suspended' the travel mandates -- they didn't terminate them permanently, so they can bring them back. So, it isn't moot -- it still hangs over our heads.
I can’t watch him either. He’s done so many awful things, triggers my anxiety
I hear you girl, and still the media protects him and his ilk.

An actor through and through. I am particularly repulsed by his "king" mode of speech.

-CTSA harassment and groping at airport security
- undue hardship in passport renewal
- unwarranted review of CPP payments
- CRA audits

I'm not on Twitter but look what is trending today....keep this up! ❤🍁
Citizens are not fully aware of the treason. But it goes back a long time as per CSIS whistleblower but sock boy has been enriched to no end by it. A Prague newspaper said it best...its not the fool Trudeau to put most of the blame to its the even bigger fools who put him there. Thats his MPS and voters and paid media.
...And JAGMEET...lest we forget why he is still in power.....

An interview with Regina Watteel regarding her book Fisman's Fraud.
Trish at the end of this podcast you talked about Coutts and predicting a constitutional crisis if we ever get to the bottom of what happened at Coutts. I hope that you are right, but I have doubts. As you said, the whole Coutts narrative seems to be peeling off with the release of the Morin and Lysak, but I am sure you have noted, as have I, that again, once the media covered their release, that was it. No more coverage, no more questions, no editorials, nothing -- and that includes the alternative or conservative media like True North. You mentioned someone getting those documents under a Freedom of Information request -- Rupa for instance. Well where is Rupa on this, I haven't heard a peep out of her. Rebel News -- the coverage Ezra Levant has been giving the Coutts Four thus far, still seems to imply he thinks they might be guilty. The Toronto Sun has been mum, as has the National Post. Where is Rex Murphy calling this out?
As well, no one in the Conservative Party seems to be interested in grilling Trudeau et al on this gross miscarriage of justice. Even Danielle Smith and her AG -- are quiet as church mice. So it will have to be earth shaking, something the mainstream media can't possibly ignore to get a full account of what really went on at Coutts. The conspiracy of silence around this whole affair is disconcerting, because it it coming from all sides.https://roxannehalverson.substack.com/p/coutts-4-conspiracy-of-silence-continues

Canada and the USA are a lot alike. We both elected idiots to run our countries. We can do better in the future. 2024 for the USA. 2025 or sooner for Canada.
Hey Trish, still love your stuff, you are my go to on every long car ride.
I caught up on a couple episodes on the road to Ottawa this past family day weekend, and you mentioned the Boeing 737 Max fiasco in both episodes.
Although your main points were bang on both times, you got several details wrong both times as well. I suppose it's minor, but I think it would be better if you got it right.
First, there were only two fatal crashes due to the design flaw. I think you stated there were three.
Second, you implied that the company was too cheap to update the platform and improperly put newer engines on an outdated plane. I think it's important to clarify this point from an engineering perspective. It is certainly true that the 737 platform was never originally designed to handle the newer (and much larger) high bypass Jet engines, it is not accurate to say that they did poor engineering to make it happen. The cost of bringing a new platform to market today is almost completely prohibitive for airlines.
I will offer up as evidence, the Bombardier CSeries was one of the last companies worldwide to bring a brand new platform to market, and they went bankrupt -- and not only because of Boeing's dirty tricks.
Airbus -- who ultimately purchased the CSeries that the Canadian taxpayers paid for -- kept updating their older platforms with newer engines and Boeing needed to bring a competitive offering to the market. The challenge for Boeing was their 737 platform -- the competitor to the A320 platform -- was older and the plane didn't sit high enough to simply fit the new engines underneath. So they got creative and mounted the engines ahead and a bit higher than they typically would on a plane.
Although it was not ideal, technically there was absolutely nothing wrong from an engineering perspective with doing that. The problem though begins because of the effects of the change.
For financial reasons, Boeing wanted the plane to behave identically to prior versions of the 737. This was very important, because if it deviated in any way, it would require airlines to force any pilots who were already certified to fly an older version of the 737 -- and a lot of airlines were using those planes -- to undergo training to understand the changes and recertification. Obviously this would incur a cost to the airline purchasing the new planes and so it would make the newer planes slightly less competitive. UNLESS it behaved exactly the same. Then the pilots just had to do some quick little simulator training (almost nothing) and they could fly the new planes with little to no cost to the airline.
This fact was critical, because by moving the engines they changed the balance of the plane and under heavy thrust, it did not behave like the old 737 and would pitch up.
This is where the design started to go wrong. The engines and their placements, did not have any fundamental flaw or safety problem, but now in order to hide the new behaviour, they added an autopilot function to make an adjustment in the controls to make the plane behave like the old 737.
This was the safety and design flaw and it relates to a fundamental choice Boeing made with respect to how all their autopilots functions were designed. Boeing always designed their autopilot functions in a way that the pilot controls would always move the control surfaces of the plane, and any autopilot functions would mechanically move those pilot controls so the pilot knew what was happening and could decide to physically override anything with many movement of controls. The functions of all the autopilot features were also very explicit and the pilots were trained to know what they did.
This differed fundamentally from Airbus designs where the pilot give input to electronic controls and which talks to a computer, and the computer decides how to move the plane controls depending on the "mode" it is in. This meant that a plane could completely override what a pilot was telling the plane to do.
These were fundamental philosophies that any pilot trained on the relevant planes knew and relied on.
Now in this case, Boeing needed to use an implicit autopilot function -- that the pilot couldn't turn on or off, and in fact was never even told existed -- in order to make the new plane "feel" and behave like the old one.
They might have even gotten away with this EXCEPT they made a fundamental safety flaw next. The new "hidden" autopilot (MCAS) system was designed with a confusing interface, and even worse it relied on a pair of sensors (you always have two sensors in case one breaks) but it was only attached to one of the two, so if one happened to fail, it gave the autopilot function bad data. It gets even worse. The indicator light that would have told a pilot that the two sensors were not agreeing (meaning one of them was malfunctioning) was sold as an upgrade option which lower cost airlines (like the ones that crashed) never purchased. So in other words, they implemented a confusing autopilot function, without explaining to the pilots how it fully worked, that relied on a single point of failure of a part that will eventually fail, AND they sold planes without the option to tell the pilot that the part was malfunctioning.
This was the horrific sequence of poor design, engineering, and pricing features that led to two crashes before the FAA suspended the planes from flights.
The engines and the platform engineering was fine. Yes, the engine design and platform led to the poor choices that were made down the road and led to the crashes.
It is important to note that the North American carriers who purchased the 737 Max like WestJet etc all purchased the upgrades that would have indicated to the pilots that the sensor wasn't working. The two jets that crashed did not have that option on and so the pilots had no clue as to what was wrong and the plane basically flew them into the ground on it's own.
All of the signs of the design flaw were readily known after the first crash, and the plane should have been suspended immediately. I remember seeing the telemetry of it before the second crash and it certainly merited a close investigation, but this is where the politics and industry capture of the regulatory agencies reared it's head. It wasn't until the second crash when the FAAs (and Canada CTSB) were forced to ground the planes until the problem was fixed.
The fix was not complicated. Hook the MCAS to both sensors. Make the sensor fault indicator light mandatory on all versions. Fix the override MCAS interface, and train the pilots on it's operation. After that, there is nothing wrong with the plane or it's design.
So it wasn't the engines or them being cheap about the platform that caused the crashes. They cut safety corners in how they designed the MCAS systems and they violated pilot trust by hiding the function in order to save the airlines money in training and certification.
And there were only two crashes.
I got the data about the planes and the updates from a wonderful documentary and an investigative journo. The 3rd plane came from an Al Jazeera report. I see if I can find the reference for you. Thanks for the note....always grateful for a quick correct.
Hi Trish, which documentary? I'm curious how they position the engine decision.
I am certain many people will deride it as a cost measure -- which it was -- but that doesn't mean it was bad engineering.
The MCAS implementation was certainly bad engineering, in the efforts to cut costs which is the worst sort of malfeasance.
As far as I can tell, there are only 3 major incidents involving the Max and only two were crashes. The latest incident involved decompression from faulty door plugs (happened in January) but there was no crash or loss of life. The latest issue, is a problem of assembly which is completely unrelated to the MCAS caused crashes. (when they inspected similarly configured planes, they found some other loose door plugs)
Downfall....The Case Against Boeing. I thought it was terrific. Let me know what you think. Really sad how the company moved from Seattle, too. The city was so proud of its connection to Boeing. Then all hell broke loose.
Hi Trish,
I watched it this afternoon, and yes, it is a very a good documentary. It brought back all my memories from that time period. At the time, I was quite active on some aircraft safety forums and I remember discussing all the data as it came out, and it came out quickly. It was pretty obvious to everyone there, the plane should have been grounded after the first crash.
The documentary didn't talk about one of the more interesting stories surrounding the crashes. I believe it was in the case of the first plane that crashed, the pilot who had flown the plane immediately prior had encountered the AoA sensor failure and subsequent MCAS problems. Somehow, riding the roller coaster, he managed to figure out what was wrong and either disabled the system or mitigated it quickly enough. If I recall correctly, he then reported the fault and some mechanics looked at the plane and he went home. Sadly, the mechanics either didn't properly fix the part or it wasn't showing faulty on the ground, and the pilots in the next flight in the morning were not as lucky and crashed. I vaguely recall (the forum history is lost) that we knew about this story pretty early on as well.
Going back to the documentary, I found the business portion interesting and there is no question about the reduction in quality culture. This quote was super interesting: "They drove the company as if it was making washing machines, dishwashers... ". I read many years ago -- I think at the time of the 787 fiascos circa 2009 -- about the changes in quality culture, and it turns out a lot of the executives at the "new" Boeing were former lieutenants under Jack Walsh at GM. Washing machines and dishwashers indeed.
The documentary pretty much confirms what I said. The driving cost motivation was to make the plane behave like the old one. If it was different, the FAA would have required pilot simulator training which adds a lot of cost to purchasing new planes and Boeing had promised no new training would be required. Thus, the die was cast.
"And because there could be no additional pilot training, there was tons of motivation within the company to either build a design that doesn't have significant differences, or potentially to cover up a design that does." (~1:01:00)
From there it plays out as we see from the emails in the documentary: "If we emphasize MCAS is a new function there may be a greater certification and training impact". This is precisely why they hid it from everyone including pilots.
The irony is they might have even gotten away with hiding it had they not made the rookie design mistake of relying on a single sensor that would inevitably fail -- as described by the pilot in the documentary. The two mistakes combined -- No training or knowledge of the hidden system, combined with a fatal flaw in the hidden system -- simply made it a matter of time before a plane crashed. The FAA's own analysis after the first crash pretty much says the same thing, and it was criminal they didn't ground the plane after predicting 15 more similar crashes over the life of the plane.
The documentary talked about the fact the pilots would have had 10 seconds to recognize the problem and disable the system, but they didn't note a more minor detail that the indicator of the AoA sensor failure was a software option on the plane -- something that might have clued in the pilots more quickly -- and the two airlines that had crashed, had not purchased those "additional features" so it was not available to those pilots.
When you add in regulatory capture and corrupt regulators who didn't force Boeing to ground the plane, and you have a second crash before other countries took the matter into their hands and forced the hand of the US and the FAA (and Transport Canada who followed the FAA).
The documentary gets all the technical details right IMO, and never blames the use of the platform or the new engines, which I believe you implied in at least one of your podcasts. It IS an important part of the story, but it is not an engineering fault.
From the 80's to the 2000's this business story repeated itself across almost every regulated industry. It was a trend where regulators "outsourced" quality and regulation to the industries. This includes oil and gas (Transocean/BP), Pharmaceuticals (too many problems to note) and the airline industry. The outcome was predictable, and in some cases, the results were seen earlier, and in some, later. I would argue the Boeing problem showed up already in the 2009 timeframe when they shipped their newest plane the 787 and they were plagued by manufacturing problems of the sort the engineer noted in the documentary. Fortunately, none of those problems resulted in a loss of life. But obviously Boeing didn't really change their "new" culture and the graduates of the Jack Welsh era continued to reign supreme.
Fundamentally, the engineering bones of the 737 Max are fine and aside from the recent door bolt issue (a manufacturing problem again) the plane has a very good record since it returned to service and there are a lot of them flying. I remember friends talking about the first crash on facebook at the time, and I told them I wouldn't want to fly on that plane until they sorted out the MCAS issue. I would fly on the plane today because I haven't seen any evidence of fundamental problems outside the MCAS system, problems that really were not that hard to fix.
The last thing I will note, is that Airbus does not have clean hands. Many Canadians might remember Brian Mulroney accepting a briefcase of money in exchange for a massive Air Canada purchase of A-320 aircraft, which happens to be the direct competitor to the B-737. This occurred precisely during the time Airbus was taking all that market share from Boeing so we have an idea how that happened. That plane (A-320) and it's offspring, have a long history of fume events which have probably harmed a vast number of passengers and crew. Most people don't even know about it or that they themselves might have been harmed but it is by far the most dangerous part of air travel today IMO. That plane was the platform for the A320 NEO which triggered the creation of the 737 Max. Strange world.
Trish, early in the podcast you mused that perhaps Canadians are too passive, too polite, too nice. I am very much inclined to agree. One of the things I admire about our neighbours to the south is their prickliness. I've noticed that Albertans seem to show their middle fingers to Ottawa far more than other provinces. It would be nice if that sentiment spread. It would be great if we were all flying a Gadsden flag with a hissing goose on it.
We believe you. The organized crime both government and italian russian chinese etc mixed together. Where because they refuse to hold crooked cops accountable or go after organized crime from the top down these criminals run rampant. How about seizing the real criminals bank accounts Chrystia Freeland after police doing undercover operations reveal wiretaps with the proof. Infrastructure Ontario in a construction trade scandal states external investigations needed yet the ontario government hires crooked cops. Where a premier sold drugs to children had prostitutes and he becomes premier. He is blackmailed by the crooks of covid. He lacks courage to reveal it.
