Though later criticized for emphasizing short-term profits over design at the expense of longer-term issues, Shrontz diversified Boeing for the globalized 1990s while delivering steady gains before passing the reins in 1996.

[@EuropeanRailfanAlt]

​@@nightcoregirlprinzeugen7234The thing is, for the 737 MAX, it's different. The first version of the MCAS only got information from one AoA sensor, meaning if that sensor failed, the MCAS would still use the faulty information. Also it would repeatedly push the nose down, and wasn't able to be overridden easily. Lastly, Boeing didn't tell anyone about its existence.
