The 737 MAX crashes were the result of a broken aircraft, and in both cases, the crews had no idea what was wrong. EICAS could have changed that.
I believe Ethiopian had a bulletin put out on MCAS, and the captain flew the aircraft fine through the malfunction. The un/under trained FO could not get through the checklist so the captain transferred the controls and ran it himself. The FO commanded nose up trim six times, which was effective, and then
gave up and prayed aloud
Eicas would not fix that. The captain correctly ID’ed the problem. The FO was ab initio, and I believe they got him his sim time “creatively”
