Pilots complained about the 737 Max in a federal database
Source: CNN
US pilots who fly the Boeing 737 Max have registered complaints about the way the jet has performed in flight, according to a federal database accessed by CNN.
In one of the complaints, a captain reported an autopilot anomaly which led to a brief nose-down situation -- where the front of the aircraft pointed down, according to the federal database. In another complaint, a first officer reported that the aircraft pitched nose down after the autopilot was engaged during departure. The autopilot was then disconnected and flight continued to its destination, according to the database.
Extraordinary worldwide attention has been focused on the jet -- Boeing's biggest-selling airliner -- after Sunday's crash of a new Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8, minutes after takeoff from Addis Abba, which killed all 157 people on board. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was the second deadly crash of the same new plane type within five months. The crash of Lion Air Flight 610 shortly after takeoff from Jakarta last October killed all 189 people on board.

Most Republicans don't care about anything UNLESS it involves THEM. Well many of them fly. We wouldn't want to be like those awful Social Democrats in Europe that have grounded this class of planes now? LET FREEDOM RING. When several more go down then OUR EVER GLORIOUS FREE MARKET will come to our aid.
The site of body bags on the nightly news will then motivate passengers (frequently Republicans) to cancel their reservations on future Boeing planes that have this. This will then generate change in Boeing.
YES FRIENDS FREEDOM AT WORK. So what a few more planes go down at least we will not be like those Horrible EUROPEANS with their Social Democrat ways actually imposing regulations on innocent corporations.
