5-7 years down the road? Ridiculous theory in that the plane would have been flying those 5-7 years and thus anything like MCAS would have been long since rung out in hours of service testing.
And please don’t use the DC-10 as a bolster to your theory. Not even remotely in the same ball park when it was grounded in 1979.
