Amazing thread. I always believed that the 737NG was a redesigns similar to the 747-400 - shocking to here it is still FBC.
I saw that reference was made to the AF447 crash - truly shocking. And very helpfull. The AF crash makes very clear that problematic pilot skills are not at all related to the mother country of the airline in question. And that makes the discussion about possible pilot shortcomings in relation to the 737Maxs crash bearable, because one thing is clear: Nothing becomes worse than errors made during the AF crash, and this was a true European airline’s crash.
(Same goes for AirEgypt 990 and Germanwings 9525)
