Rachel adds much to the discussion, including reports of problems with the 737 Max auto pilot by American flight crews and a chummy relationship between Trump and the CEO of Boeing. She devoted the first 28 minutes of her show to it. She did a great job!

If the problem involves the autopilot, all you'd have to likely do is turn off the autopilot

if there is a problem. Every pilot of a 737 Max in the US is likely aware of the issue now.

Sounds like a fucked up autopilot. Maybe when a plane crashes unexpectedly on some republicans house will FAA action be taken to ban this plane. No acting FAA director.

Holy crap, just got to the part that the fix for the autopilot nosedive situation was delayed 5-6 weeks due to the government shutdown.. McDonald's stunt may have contributed to human death.
