Why is everyone making a big deal over poorly trained pilots crashing planes in shithole countries?
How come no white pilots crashed a 737 MAX?

White people fly the superior Airbus.

I went out with a romanian last night, he told me a joke about flying
How did jews fly in the 40s?

Because the crashes were due entirely to lack of expertise. Pilots in Western countries are trained to a high level of certification. Outside North America and western Europe, pilot training is little more than Driver's Ed in our cultures.
My family has several professional 737 pilots, and talking to them about the crashes is as hilarious as it is saddening. The first of the two big-news MAX crashes was operated by Lion Air, a carrier with a list of crashes that boggles the mind - in America, even one of these scores of crashes and near-misses would probably have resulted in the FAA grounding the entire airline or at the very least retraining all their pilots and exercising strict authority over that airline's training programs. Maintenance, as well, is held to a far lower standard of training and inspection than in North America and Western Europe.
Although the Ethiopian airline that crashed the most recent one does not have the same laundry list, it is similarly far behind North American and Western European carriers in training and maintenance. In both cases, there was a list of red flags that at each point would have either been fixed with a textbook pilot correction or a grounding of the airplane following a routine inspection to catch and correct such failures.
Everyone is making a big deal about it because of sensationalist media and because it's racist to criticize non-Caucasian-majority countries for some reason (and 56% is still a majority, h8ers.)

Flip two switches, and everyone lives.
>> White pilots: flip two switches
>> Non-white pilots: nosedive into the ground
But I guess it’s racist to point that out.
Andrew Kelly
>due to a lack of expertise
What? The crash was caused by a function that repeatedly sent the plane into a dive, overriding the pilot and causing it to crash.

The engines caught on fire in the air on all incidents.
If you legit think this has anything to do with race, you're schizophrenic.

If you point it out that way, of course it's racism and that's why normies won't listen to it. If you say it my way, about variance in training and maintenance standards in different countries, normies will listen and understand.
Furthermore, there's nothing magical in Caucasian DNA that lets you hop in a plane and fly it safely. The reason Western countries have much better safety records is their much higher standards. You could take a 100% Northern European nation and throw untrained highschoolers in 737s and they would still have very high crash statistics.
Another thing I forgot to mention specific to the Boeing lines is that Boeing planes are made in a more American style, allowing pilots to override the autopilot and force the plane into maneuvers and situations beyond its design limits since this is sometimes necessary for the safety of the plane in emergency circumstances. This is helpful to many American pilots, as American pilots perhaps more than any other nation tend to be very experienced (our civil/recreational field dwarfs that of Europe, and we all know the meme that the largest air force in the world is the USAF while the second-largest is the US Navy.) However, pilots from other nations and especially undeveloped nations with lower training standards often misuse this emergency-only feature as a "whenever you feel like it" feature. This is also a large part of why crashes like this and less-serious accidents as well happen so often on Boeing planes. Airbus, in contrast, designs its modern planes to disallow pilots from ever exceeding their programmed limit under any circumstances in keeping with a more European aviation culture.

Function that can easily be switched off. But that needs some expertise.

iT WASN'T EASILY SWITCHED OFF UNTIL THE LION CRASH. THEN BOIENG RELEASED A BULLETIN THAT REVEALED THE 'FEATURE' BUILT INTO THE AIRCRAFT TO PREVENT A STALL. BOEING WILL FACE HUGE LIABILITIES AND THE US TAXPAYER WILL FOOT THE BILL.

>The crash was caused by a function that repeatedly sent the plane into a dive
This happens frequently, and used to happen even more in aviation. The T-38 used to do this from time to time. An experienced American pilot knows to recognize and combat this. I'm not a pilot but my father (a 737 pilot) discussed at length how ridiculously easy this would be to correct for an American pilot trained to Western standards. I don't see how your point contradicts mine.

"USED TO HAPPEN EVEN MORE IN AVIATION"
FUCK OFF KID. PLANES DIDN'T HAVE COMPUTER INTELLIGENCE TAKING FALSE DATA READINGS. IT WAS FLY BY WIRE WHERE THE PILOT MADE THE JUDGEMENT. YOU'RE A FAGGOT.

>BOEING WILL FACE HUGE LIABILITIES
Years ago they successfully lobbied the government to allow Boeing to self-certify their planes before they entered service. This applied both to engineering and final-product testing.
>AND THE US TAXPAYER WILL FOOT THE BILL
Well technically the taxpayer has sucked off Boeing and every other major domestic av manufacturer pretty much for a century. As cucked as it sounds, it's also a very essential part to our national defense, since Boeing's value to national defense dwarfs its value to the GDP. A nation that cannot manufacture its own airplanes will always be second-class to the nation that sells them. I can't off the top of my head speak for every nation in the world, but both Russia and burger only sell downgraded planes to their allies. In a modern airspace where EW is half the battle, a plane running 5yo software on a 15yo computer is a knife in a gunfight.
Although Russian air combat is noticeably behind American, it is very exaggerated in statistics since the overwhelming majority of Russian-made planes shot down are subpar exports operated by other countries' militaries and often not even flying on the engine the plane was designed around. This is why it is important, strategically, for a major world power to have at least a few domestic av manufacturers and why companies like Boeing are kept afloat even when they're obviously spitting in the taxpayers' faces.

autopilots weren't invented last week, my friend. In the early days of autopilots, early and mid Cold War, they were notorious for just pointing your plane straight up while reading level when they got bored. Many such cases - Sad!

And flying on an African airline with far lower maintenance standards and pilot continual-training standards, as well as hire standards.
Becoming a 737 pilot in burger is far more involved than just having a license. You typically spend 5 to 15 years as a copilot, first of all, and are subject to regularly-scheduled checkrides and tests with a flight instructor as well as medical examinations. Again, maintenance is also held to a strict legal standard and not just a bunch of third-worlders.
