Couple of things. 1. The MAX-10 will not and was never planned to have MCAS. Fuselage plug forward of the wing means engines are closer to CG then MAX 8/9/7.
2. How do you propose sim training? We have like 4 MAX simulators coming but none here yet and even if we did have one you’d have to program a scenario into the simulator that simulates a tragic but now irrelevant scenario as soon as the new software is loaded in the aircraft, which will probably take place in early 2020 when said simulator training would begin.
Even if we were to conduct simulator training where the IP ran crews through upsets and stab trim runaways over and over it would be redundant for UAL as both initial qualification training and continuing qualification training have had stab trim runaway training. I’m fine with a CBT. Of course, nobody has or will ask me....
