They didn’t want to require pilots to simulate for the plane. That was a big selling point. MCAS is a big enough change that it probably should have required training. (Not sure where on the fuck-up go fraud spectrum this falls, though.)

Adding MCAS didn’t change the symptoms / responses matrix. It’s mailfunction is the same as runaway trim and responses are the same (turn it off). This was a fair engineering decision to do not requir retraining for this.
