Rescuers stand beside the wreckage of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX 30 miles east of Addis Ababa on Sunday. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed Sunday six minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa, with satellite tracking data suggesting the pilots struggled to control the airplane. The captain, Yared Getachew, 29, was reportedly the youngest to command a 737 at Ethiopian Airlines, relatives told the media. Whether the experience he had was sufficient to handle the 737 MAX depends on what planes he flew previously and for how long: more automated Airbus models or the older 737. Boeing has faced accusations that it failed to properly inform pilots and airlines of the MCAS anti-stall controls, which are new to the 737 MAX.
