Really ?, there is something wrong with a system that causes 2 planes to crash like that, if the solution was soooooooooo simple.
Actually it was that easy.
Equally, leaving the flaps at flaps 1, would have suppressed all MCAS operation, and again they would have all the time their fuel load allowed to "figure it out".
You probably won't like this, but it's clear there is a generation of pilots currently responsible for hundreds of lives per flight, that know real well how to select the autopilot. Much else seems a bit of a challenge. Worry, much.
