YSK that the 737 MAX can fill the cockpit with deadly gas after a bird strike, and the FAA's solution is for the pilots to be real careful if it happens (www.seattletimes.com)

The FAA report said Boeing had calculated the probability of LRD activation as low enough to expect about one incident per year.

So it's okay that once a year there's a flight where the cockpit or the cabin fills up with possibly lethal smoke and fumes? Surely there's no way this could cause any issues. After all, a bulletin was issued that fixes everything...

Let's just hope some FAA personnel happens to be on board when this next happens.
