I like the line, Boing (deliberate misspelling) in my attached video above: 'Dish soap and hotel key cards were used on parts of Boing planes.'  from the audit which analyzed Max737 production.

Better yet, Aljazeera's undercover recording at Boing's assembly plant where the engineers said they would not fly on a Boing plane unless they had a death-wish.

I didn't know airliners had ejection seats for the pilots. 

Seems like an awfully dumb thing to have active during flight or even when the seat is occupied.  I can understand the need for some way to move the seat far forward to access something under or behind it.

Check your seats!

Boeing could be responsible for this accident as they designed the switch and positioned it where a flight attendant could accidentally turn it on, without pilots being able to stop the seat movement before activating the plane's controls.

However, Airbus's side-stick controls are even more dangerous and prone to accidental activation than Boeing’s traditional yoke controls. I do not recall outcry when a similar accident happened with an Airbus A330, which plunged 4,400 feet due to the pilot's DSLR camera accidentally jamming the side-stick:

can't they make a hole for them to jump out of on the bottom of the plane? Like a 45 degree pipe that extends out so they slide down with parachutes
