Boeing 737MAX Comeback?

New computer control system Solved?

Well this is what Boeing in Seattle is saying, wither it is true is another matter! 

As seen recently with the sad crash in Pakistan, pilots do not seem to have been trained very well in handling their aircraft forgetting to let the wheels down?

It would seem to be a simple mistake, but the problem that is being encountered world-wide with new aircraft is the complexities of needing a degree in computer engineering as well as being a well trained pilot?

The danger is computers are taking away access to the over ride of manual control, since humans can do things still that machines cannot?

The 737MAX series was to be the last of this great line of type entering now into the 21st Century, but with the loss of two aircraft in Indonesia and Ethiopia and the complexities of control being lost in updating pilots to fly them this has caused major delays and a stump in production from building, painting and delivery!

Malaysia and Indonesia.

Three Airliner Losses.

Is there something going on here that we do not fully know about yet? Three commercial aircraft from two countries in  the region have lost their aircraft, one disappeared from radar on a flight to China, a second was shot down in the Ukraine by unknown hostiles while on a flight from the Netherlands to Australia. Now we have a possible thunder and lightening strike on this Indonesian aircraft flying to Singapore.

The first loss is an enigma? Australian security specialist suggested it was Cyber Hijacked and this type of crime has recently been seen emanating from North-Korea in relation to a Sony film. 

Second we have the conflicting reports of who and how the aircraft over the Ukraine was destroyed, was it shot down by a Russian missile or by a Ukrainian fighter jet mistaking it for a Russian commercial overflight?

This last one would seem it was struck by lightening, while trying to divert from developing storms. But as yet these are all ideas. The one thing which does not seem to be urgently addressed, is the essential need to secure the transponder and black boxes, so that they continue to ping long after an aicraft disappears or crashes?
