The first Max crash in Indonesia, The Pilot has close to 7000 hrs flight while the Co-Pilot has 5000. The second crash in Ethiopia, The Pilot has more than 6000 hrs flight, while yes the Co-Pilot has only 200+ hrs flight in 737 but reported has clock more flight hours on other smaller plane.

However the talk on the pilots minimum hours or train eventough is relevant to be discussed even bring to International body that overseas Aviation regulation..should not ‘cloud’ real problem on Max. Afterall even ‘Sully’ in Congressional hearing point out that the problem is in the ‘hardware’.

There is absolutly no reason what so ever for Turkey or Europe 5th gen fighter to go fat and short like F-35.
We all understand why the F-35 ended up short and fat. Navy requirements on CV ramp and fotprint.

If you only have Airforce requirements, then you are free to go longer, flat and sleeknes design.

Isn’t Dasault-Airbus design has also to be the replacement for Rafale Naval ? So it can not be only for Air Force requirements.

From this Turkish Aerospace Video, seems they go directly to ‘5 Gen Capabilities’ of internal weapon bay.

The aerostructure have some similarities with KFX, but seems TFX goes with more flatter fuselage.

Don’t know if this is going to be contagious or not, but Garuda as one of considerable user to 737 seems begin to change heart with it’s main narrow body.
Their subsidiary CityLink low cost carrier already using A320/A320 Neo.
Perhaps it’s one of their strategy to uniformise their narrow body Airliner ? Will remain to be seen.

Anyway they say the keep negotiating with Boeing to change their Max 8 order to another type of Boeing Airliner.

This accidents involving Max8, will not put an end to Boeing. However it will give more momentum to A320NEO family.
When A320 got accidents like example the one involve Air Asia A320, it make some potential buyers switch to 737. However for Airlines that already depends with 737…or A320 they will not change easily like that.

Lion Air despite some heated word exchange with Boeing after the MAX8 accident…where Boeing indicating the fault on Lion Air maintenance, and Lion Air exchange it with potential faulty parts on MAX8, send threatened to move to A320..in reality for Low Cost Airlines it won’t be easy to change fleets as their cost structures related to one or maximum two kind of aircraft in the fleet.

It will be interesting to see if this also provide some additional momentum to C919 or MC-21..
World Airlines just need alternative from 737 and 320.

Indication reported that the plane have eratic speed patern after take off. This reminds too much like the Lion Air Max 8 crash.
Not a good development for Max 8 and Boeing.
