Hey, Boeing. Don't celebrate your first post-grounding 737 Max test flight too hard. You just lost another big contract

It takes two-to-tango

There is another flaw to this whole MCAS saga that everyone seems to forget: Angle of Attack vanes

In the MAX, there are only TWO (2) of them. In both incidents, one of the two vanes was feeding faulty information back to the MCAS. MCAS picked the WORST reading as "reliable" and then started pitching the nose down.

Guess what, MAX will continue to have two AoA vanes.

If there were three vanes, it is an easy "election". But with two ... Just sayin'.
