SLF here- I'm amazed at the stampede to MCAS blame absent any other info. The last I heard re MCAS was that it was disabled until flaps UP. It ***seems *** that from the altitude figures above terrain and time after takeoff- that flaps were**** probably **** not up. Beyond that admitted speculation, including rants about chicken.... airlines, why not wait till more facts and data as from tower, fdr and cockpit voice data/facts. ??
