As a long time software engineer to make these types of changes without notice to users is...not good. And my users were merely people sitting at desks, not flying planes.
I have to wonder about liability for Boeing here.
From the “Boeing Media Room”.....
“On November 6, 2018, Boeing issued an Operations Manual Bulletin (OMB) directing operators to existing flight crew procedures to address circumstances where there is erroneous input from an AOA sensor. “
Exceot for two things, the first being there is no AoA display. Second, the crew must first understand that the “existing procedures” ALSO apply to MCAS FAULT...
Trying to conflate “existing procedures” with
no published link to the faulty system is dishonest and misleading.
