I won't be surprised if the max is renamed though.

They handled it just fine, they just relied more on their skill and not the checklist.
Thus indicating, pilots with less skill would not do as well.
I stand by what I said. The article says pilots from AA, UA, SW (presumably all experienced and well trained) had issues. And presumably all knew ahead of time what they were going to deal with. Something the accident pilots didn’t know ahead of time.
I’m not blaming pilots. This is obviously an issue with the design that needs specific simulator training. I’m positive all those pilots would handle it better if they had gone through specific sim training.
