I, for one, would jump at the chance on flying on commercial planes so problematic a reaction by the pilot of less than 10 seconds causes the whole passenger list's death

Hey walterbright, who do you work for?

Considering that he claims to have worked for Boeing, this has made me... really concerned.

As far as I know, there's never been an incident with the 757 stab trim. I'm delighted when I find out my flight is on a 757.

By the way, my opinions on this issue are my own. I don't speak for anyone else.

The 757 rightfully has a reputation as a high-performing, well-engineered plane, that pilots love to fly.

The 737 MAX rightfully has a reputation as a death trap too unsafe to remain in the skies.

I'm not sure how the one is relevant to the other.

When Walter worked for Boeing he worked on the 757 trim system, which has never had a problem yet, therefore Gigablah can probably relax about the fact that Walter worked for Boeing.
