The In-house Hierarchy.
I am probably wrong, but could it be that the less able were put on the 737 max program as it was safe and boring for the average engineer and test pilots.
I do propose this considering that the MCAS as originally certified must have been done by the most incompetent people money could by!!
I have no patience for FAA and Boeing when it comes to this ****up , it is just not DONE!!
It was the simplest job in the world, add some aerodynamic" stuff" on the tail and voila certified!
But they did not even have the brains to see the engines upsetting effect at high AOA. How is that even possible!
The MCAS is by fare the most insane patch I have ever seen in Aviation!
Boeing let us down.
