A message to Boeing and Airbus, please let the pilots fly the aicraft you build and stop confusing them with unnecessary and untimately dangerous technology.
Not that simple. As stated already hundreds of times, MCAS is required because of aerodynamic differences with the older model (bigger nacelle, further forward), making the required pull to increase AOA at high AOA too light (best way I can phrase it). You could blame Boeing for not designing a new aircraft, but based on all their other new designs i am sure it would have more, not less envelope protection.
