Should those training processes not be blamed? After all, it wasn’t Southwest Airlines that crashed and the sketchy founder of Lion Air certainly didn’t have safety as a core value.
The weird remarks about Ethiopia were quite out of place, Ethiopian Airlines has an excellent safety record. It's also telling that Ted Cruz insisted very quickly after the second crash that the MAX be grounded, it would be have very bad for his career if one had crashed in Dallas and he had declared them safe.
