At this point no 737 pilot has any excuse not to understand MCAS, including what it does and how to disable it if there's a problem, and will be watching for issues vary closely.

I wouldn't have a problem flying on one.

Exactly the same after the Lionair crash.

So you think the MCAS system is the only deadly surprise the 737 Max has in store?

I'm not comfortable making that assumption, especially after learning more about Boeing's decision-making process and the way they misled the FAA.

Remains to be seen but I am sure all the major certification authorities will be asking this now. Probably by the time it's flying again there won't be any need to make assumptions.
