It seems odd that the most countries are calling off flights with the Boeing 737 and the US won't.
I think it's just another blatant example of the coorperate takeover of the US government.
I am not an aviation engineer but doesn't seem like putting all flights of the 737 on hold for a few weeks is asking for much.
The US FAA is a big ponderous bureaucracy that follows its internal rules scrupulously. When they said Monday they didn't have enough evidence to ground the planes, I don't doubt that they meant it. On Wednesday, citing fresh evidence, they issued the grounding directive.
I have my own ideas about the crashes, but not enough info to be sure I know what I am talking about. I do not think a stick pusher is a good idea in the first place, and if it malfunctions you should certainly turn it off, but it's too soon to tell whether that was the scenario or not.
