As far as the MCAS

Interesting read.

The max is unrecoverable from a stall in certain conditions, MCAS was required (another band aid) for certification. You disable MCAS the airplane is no longer certified.

It is not unrecoverable! The force required to push the nose down exceeded certification limits and not by much. FAA wanted the forces to be the same. Plane is still recoverable or the flight test airplanes would have crashed.

Until not that long ago, the typical regional new hire had a wet commercial and just enough hours to be trained how to open the door.

That is interesting. Thank you!

Whoa
Despite your last statement most guys hired with little to no time went to the panel and flew sideways for thousands of hours. Am I wrong?

No more panel now.

That was never typical. Mesa did it, and a couple others would hire well under 1500.

Instead of trying to stretch the 737 to the seating capacity of the original 757why not just update the 757? Seems like there would be far fewer aerodynamic problems.

It is recoverable, as has been stated above. Boeing designed a system to adjust flight controls that they deemed wasn't necessary to inform "average pilots" about because they didn't want them to be "inundated with information" - their exact words, not mine. How arrogant and insulting is that? Information which potentially could've saved lives. We won't know though, because they're all dead.

Ask yourself this - How many 737s have crashed because of the problem MCAS was supposed to fix, versus how many have crashed because of MCAS?

So, there is definitely an accident or accidents that are confirmed to have been caused by MCAS?
