Apparently when you get a Masters in Business most of your brain bar the part that likes money falls out.😮‍💨

Yes planes come with autopilot, but those systems universally will take any input in the controls by human hands as an override to its current state and will disconnect it.
Unfortunately I'm afraid most of these situations are an over-reaction recently due to the MAX being in the spotlight.

I feel as if the way airlines are run will always be at odds with the completely safe way to operate and maintain aircraft. It feels like a recent thing that the shareholders' opinion matters more than anything else, but it's been headed that way a long time...

At the very least they should have more than 2 lavs like the A321s do, that would be a dicey operation after about 6 hours with only 2 lavs!

There where so many countries involved the legislation groundwork was also integral to the company's success.
All this to say, the FAA is in charge of the plane due to it being designed here, and other bodies use them as a baseline for their own regulations. The FAA is also very neutered now. 3/3

the plane by their own countries' regulatory body. ICAO is another international body that regulates many things, and many countries have agreements that if a plane is certified in one, it is automatically certified in another. This is Airbus was such a big deal when they formed in the 70's 2/3

The plane was Type Certificated in the US, which is considered the aviation authority most other countries are in reference to. EASA, the EU's regulatory body has a process by which the plane also goes by to allow it to fly in the airspace of EU countries but sometimes do individually certify 1/3

I use Fluke stuff at work and am always happy with the quality. When I found out they made bench equipment too I was very excited!
And yeah I wonder what part of Raytheon this was used at, no telling the parts of missles or stuff this thing measured.
