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 $.

@FediThing@social.chinwag.org @yosh@toot.yosh.is While the new MAX could have.. probably should have been an entirely new type rating (requiring complete pilot retraining), the MCAS system itself wasn't an inherintly bad engineering solution to a problem. The real fault was cutting corners in its implementation. Boeing 737 MAX MCAS will be a case study in engineering schools for decades on how otherwise good engineering solutions are sabotaged by executive cost cutting. 3/3
