A comment on Pilot Who Hitched a Ride Saved Lion Air 737 on the Day Before Deadly Crash. Parent comment
What alternative did the airlines have though? The A320neo? Cause that would've required re-training too.
Probably Boeing should've pushed back against the airlines: we've made you a more fuel efficient 737, but it's going to require re-training.
Someone or someones may have thought: "MCAS is the only thing that requires retraining? Can't we fudge that?"
And the thing is, it still seems like MCAS is a reasonable solution, if poorly implemented.
