Summary (TL;DR)
Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger wrote a letter to New York Times Magazine rejecting William Langewiesche's claim that pilot error caused the Boeing 737 MAX crashes. Sullenger argues that the MCAS software was a 'death trap' and blames Boeing for its flawed design, not the pilots. He shares his simulator experience with MCAS and says poor pilot training worldwide does not excuse the fatal design flaw.
