Oh, and Skybird pretends that MCAS is a kludge, produced out of thin air to save a 737 the couldn't fly right. Surprise! MCAS is also used in other airplanes without incidents. The military KC-46 tanker also uses MCAS and has never had a crash resulting from similar pilot errors. The KC-46's MCAS is different from that of the 737 Max in that it uses both angle of attack sensors and the Air Force required pilot input to the yoke to cancel any MCAS operation.
Had the 737 Max been that way and pilots disconneted MCAS and subsequently crashed the plane, we would be reading the same news reports that the greedy airline company allowed pilots to disconnect a system that could have saved 150 lives, and instead allowed the pilot to crash the plane.
The FAA, news-media, politicians and certain people posting on Subsim would still be reciting the same tired old yarns about the greedy airline sacrificing all to get the plane in flight sooner than it could be for safety. These greedy companies don't care about the safety of their customers. I guess dead customers buy a lot of airplanes and the manufacturers don't have to worry about customer safety.
As farcical as the argument is to begin with, ANY MCAS configuration would have the same group of anti-corporation zealots screaming for executives to go to jail and companies to be put out of business. The only solution is to remove all airlines from the air and not let any of them fly. But that wouldn't keep the zealots from keening. Actually, the agenda is to attack corporations with anything that occurs. And those attacks will continue regardless of what those corporations do. There is no right as far as these zealots are concerned, but the death of the corporations. Then the zealots would attempt to evade responsibility for everyone's inability to fly or send cargo by air to remote destinations.
