What do you mean? In this case, by all indications, IT IS the fault of the vendor.

What makes you think malindo air knew about this?
Nobody knew.
They talked about malindo because malindo accepted and were flying the plane while lion air rejected and wanted a training prior to accepting it.

You obviously haven't been keeping up with the issue....it's a hardware defect which Boeing attempted to correct using software....when the software malfunction, the pilots were not trained to do the right thing....they should not try to correct the aircraft, but switch off the auto stabilizer. The aircraft will then correct itself....

So it's both a hardware and software problem intrinsic with the design of the aircraft....

Additional training on a simulator will alert pilots to this problem, how to react, and likely prevent the crashes....

After 2 air crashes. Everyone is an expert in this matter.

2 years ago nobody know what the f this is.

u ask gordon ramsay write u email of his secret recipe, will u be as good as him ah? bodo
this thing no need train emergency/panic that time how? open email and read through again?

Boeing knows the potential problems, but thought the software will work, in the background, and therefore no need to tell airlines and pilots....

Email?....lol you are so ignorant about flying.....lol

Boeing was very against additional simulator time because that's how they sell the max....by assuring airlines and pilots it will fly exactly like the 737ng....it doesn't because the new software change how the aircraft behaves....this is not something you teach by "email".....

Your ignorance is amazing....lol

What weed u smoking? seems more and more retard.

The pilots couldn’t disable it in time or at all

If this material had been part of a training, the crashes would have been avoided.

Duno what bitnes u in but sell industrial  machines also have to provide training how to use lah, especially if requested by customer.

Therein lies the reason for the disaster, and what caused the slide in Boeing technology.....

"Value chain".....

I was waiting for the "drive car" analogy....

Here it comes....

Yes, pilots actually go back to driving school when switching aircrafts....it's called conversion....

Ah....that's the point..... Boeing wants people to think it's the same....it's not....

When the Ng was launched in 97, pilots needed to undergo conversion training....because of significant cockpit differences....

However, the more advanced a320 changed the game maintaining the same operations across the family 319/320/321/CEO/neo.....thus allowing pilots to be rated to fly all of them....that fact helps sell a lot of 320s (not to mention close similarity with the 330/340 as well, making conversion easy)....

So Boeing wants the same "value chain" to sell the max.....

Except the max had one big problem: engine too big for the low wings.... solution: put it in front.....

Guess what happens to the centre of gravity when you move 2 heavy engines forward?.....

Good "value chains"?.....lol

Rubbish.....

Boeing never inform pilots.of the mcas....

An intrinsic defect in the aircraft to be corrected by a co-pilot's advice?....seriously? That's how you would solve this problem?

Would a sim training avoid the crashes?.... subsequent SIM simulation crashes.....because pilots reaction to mcas was different from Boeing's expectation.....so it may certainly pick up problems with pilot reactions....

Finding fault?....me?....Why would the whole world ground all maxs, if it's not at fault?....I didn't ground them....

As to value chain....its obsession with the whole idea that caused Boeing to keep modifying an aged frame instead of a new aircraft....even to the extend a /k discussion needs to "move up the value chain".....lol

You keeps on bising pasal training and challenging others... if the pilot were well trained, of course it would make a big different.

FYI.. Training, familiarisation, technical and support always part of the sales and purchase agreement AFAIK.

This is small part of agreement that mentioned about the customer support, maintenance and flight training upon the purchased of 737NG..

That’s the reason why B*eing is at fault.  ....” From its inception, Boeing’s 737 Max was designed to save airlines the expense of training their pilots on flight simulators. During the initial approval of the plane and after two crashes killed 346 people last year, Boeing argued in conversations with the Federal Aviation Administration that simulator training was not necessary.

Now, after a worldwide grounding has cost the company billions of dollars over nearly 10 months and caused it to temporarily halt the production of the Max, Boeing has reversed course. On Tuesday, the company said it would recommend that pilots train in flight simulators before flying the Max.” NY times.

No SIM training on MAX because Boeing never provide and thinks that unnecessary. Now statements putar halim. And the worst part, when the buyer requested, they laugh at them... this is not cheap Bentl*y or Ferr*ri.. This is d*mn aeroplane!!! I can’t brain their staffs could made fun of it...
Meanwhile,
Sim training most likely always been part of the “Seller Flight Training Program” in the past.
......”3.1 Flight Crew Training Course.

Transition training for 6 flight crews (12 pilots); The training will consist of grounds school (utilizing computer based training), fixed base simulator, full flight simulator and actual aircraft training on Customer's Aircraft.

3.2 Flight Dispatcher Training Course.

Flight Dispatcher training; 5 Days, up to 10 people

3.3 Flight Attendant Training Course.

Flight Attendant training; 3 Days, up to 20 people

3.4 Performance Engineer Training Courses.

Performance Engineer Training; will be provided at Seller's facility, up to 5 people....”
Regarding your question about Lion air’s pilot about how, what, why, who.... I can’t answer, I’m not working for lion air, nor owned the company. Please contact lion air directly if you want further/details info..
And it’s not a witch-hunt!!!! 346 passengers killed...! And they are at fault, the company, the employees, because not only failed to address the changes, and provide necessary training, they’re t*lk sh*t when they should be professional. I bet, you’ll never understand till the karma knock you hard #SMH

Whatever you want to say lahhh... if your comments really matters, go flip the table in front of FAA.
