I think the real crime is that Boeing and a compliant FAA sold this as just another 737. It may be similar, but us a different animal in some ways which should have required at the very least training on the MCAS system.

Just my opinion, there appears to be new training requirements for the previous 737 models that have been flying for decades. If you have not had a chance to read the FAA’s FSB Report for the B-737, recommend you take a look and read very carefully or you will overlook the new training requirements for the old airplanes.

Good insight from Tim Clark, I think he nailed it...

A jury must agree the defendant intentionally acted to validate MCAS fully aware a deficiency existed beyond standards set for certification. When defense counters, upon stacks of supporting documentation and credible witness testimony, the chief technical pilot exercised authority reasonably consistent with benchmark BA sign-offs, not guilty. But if you're a fan of confidence game fiction, WN would be the in-and-in on this score. Aunt Sally misuse of Justice time & $$$. Hang on Skip.

Shouldn't have come this far. Glib, doubt wracked comments exploding into a legal fire only Mrs. O'Leary's cow could fully appreciate. Makes me wonder about all the goo I've puked out here. Fraud is a serious fed offense. To draft one using an engineer's grifting pen, slick. Do you pad regular pay or wire a Cayman branch account? No one saw this coming. Nobody. BS indictment. Scripted for media feed on behalf of institutional barons, busy buffing crud off their lampoon logos. Stark contrast to the lone pilot accused. Harrumph.
