And but how. The MCAS was a workaround to prevent entirely new airframe recertification due to using new engines - $dodge #1
MCAS wasn't tied to ALL appropriate sensors, only one or two - $dodge #2
when MCAS engages it overrides pilot input; the alarms to indicate this is happening were made $optional - $dodge #3

@FediThing@social.chinwag.org @yosh@toot.yosh.is they made MCAS training a "readme" inserted into the new planes release notes; and NOT $mandatory pilot retraining - $dodge #4 In both crashes, the pilots were pulling back on the stick to fight against a system that had erroneously engaged and they may not have even been aware of what they were doing, driving their planes into a stall/into the ground. Because Boeing wanted to save their airline customers a few $. 2/
