There appears to definitely be a significant problem with this system in the aircraft, I don’t think anyone is disputing that. For myself, I am certainly not ‘blaming’ the pilots.

Comments about safety data from Africa, Russia, and some Asian countries is a statistical comment, and has nothing to do with any kind of racial undertones.

Better trained and more experienced pilots don’t guarantee anything, but they do increase the odds of dealing with an unexpected event. This malfunction was a manageable malfunction....I don’t say that dismissively, it may have been a very challenging situation that would’ve taxed any pilots abilities, regardless of experience or training. But it was manageable in the sense that it isn’t like a wing broke off, where there is really nothing the pilots could’ve done. There was a way to handle this, as evidenced by the previous days crew to the Lion air accident.

As for the report that the pilots disabled the software but the system continued trimming anyway....be very cautious and skeptical. It is highly unlikely. Nothing is impossible, but the odds of that being an incorrectly worded news story is magnitudes more likely than the trim continuing to run with the stab trim cutout switches placed in cutout. Even the wording about disabling the software is very awkwardly worded, and has me trying to understand what the writer means by that.
