The 737 is not a plane you want for landing or taking off in heavy rain. Visibility is shitty even with the wipers set to high. On top of that, no plane is one you want if there's windshear.

Want to land with heavy rain on the airfield? "Don't do it. Divert or hold if you can..."

Hmm, speculation is early (investigators refrain), but maybe did they get get-there-itis?

I watch Mentour Pilot, VASAviation, (Kennedy Steve), Captain Joe, Flight Chops and blancolirio well before the MAX incident.
