All mass shootings are crimes, bad, and tragedies. Also, bombings, arsons, stabbing events and running down people with a vehicle are crimes, bad and tragedies.
The problem of equivocating "sane" gun control with school shootings is like saying because the max had crashes, airplane travel should be banned for safety concerns.
338 dead in max crashes so far..... 35 dead in school shootings in all of 2018.

So far the Max has killed nearly 10x more people than school shootings did in a year. Neither are probably preventable, one is an engineering/design/training mistake, the others are deliberate crimes.

I'm just surprised that the subsequent pilot training isn't going to require any sim time and just a CBT? I would think the airlines and the FAA would like to present their full dedication in order to restore passenger confidence?

Someone's gotta pay for it. Wasn't SWA pushing for this jet since all they fly is the 737?
You can't fly a 757 and a 767 unless you were trained in both. Doesn't matter if common type. you need to know both jets.
