they also forgot to mention the Ethiopian crew turn the stab trim switches back on to try and engage the autopilot.

they also forgot to mention the FAA retained certification for MCAS. They did now about the expanded envelope and that was in the DOJ report.

They got the merger stuff right but we’re wrong about the anything about the MAX. MCAS was about certification flights. Stick force per G. It was not to push the nose down like the media loves to say.
