Thanks Larry..
Just trying to remember which aircraft I use to fly that had a stick pusher on top of a stick shaker.
Maybe it's a system that time has made redundant due to software limitations?

I guess I just assumed that it was also a function of thrust due to this little statement-
The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) flight control law was implemented on the 737 MAX to mitigate the aircraft's tendency to pitch up because of the aerodynamic effect of its larger, heavier, and more powerful CFM LEAP-1B engines and nacelles

But it will be interesting to see if the M10 does away with the MCAS, as it seems that (they way you described it) the longer the aircraft, the less of an issue it is.

I also got this tidbit from AW&ST-
The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is a flight control law managed by the flight control computer (FCC) and introduced on the 737 MAX to help it handle like a 737 Next Generation (NG), particularly at slow speeds and high angles of attack (AOA).

Hence why I relate the MCAS to a type requirement and not so much as an anti stall system.
Then I also found this nugget (from Wiki) -
"Contrary to descriptions in news reports, however, Boeing emphasized that MCAS is not an anti-stall system"

Thanks for your insight!
What are your thoughts about the seating configuration? (which was my original question! lol)
Just trying to figure out the window shade issue and the tv monitor. Seems like a nightmare.

Motch

PS) Guess I should have typed Stall Shaker/Stick Pusher. Some have one, some have both..?!
