PR. As more information becomes available, and there is more understanding of what actually happened, those of us who actually get paid to fly can see that these pilots made a lot of mistakes.
The ET302 pilots did not follow the proper procedures after takeoff when they were faced with an Angle Of Attack disagreement during a day VFR departure. Boeing has taken steps to make the B737 MAX MCAS safer (foolproof?), but there will always be pilots who are their own worst enemies.
BS. There’s not a crew in the world that doesn’t make mistakes, but this crew did not act stupidly nor incompetently. The design of MAX in the case of malfunctioning MCAS is terribly intolerant of error.
