They might fix MCAS training, but I doubt they will do anything to change basic pilot training. In the Lion Air case, why would a pilot sit there, flying more or less level at a more or less constant speed and allow an automatic trim system to trim nose down on 20-odd occasions without doing something to stop it? If an automatic system is doing something it's not supposed to do and is making control difficult, then there's one very obvious solution. Deactivate the bloody thing and revert to something more basic. To my way of thinking, that should be part of a pilot's basic training
