Any MAX pilots here?

Are there any contributors here who are 737 pilots who transitioned to the MAX?

May I ask please,
If you did, did you have any SIM, classroom, or Line training on the MAX and it's differences, or was it purely on-line modules, thus was your first flight on a ''pax on board'' flight?

Were you made fully aware of the adverse pitch up changes, and CG issues of the new MAX due to the design enforced forward location of the new larger engines (which can now cause lift) at low weights/high power applications resulting in a (unrecoverable?) high AOA? (which we now are aware, necessitated the MCAS software patch)

Were you (before the 2 fatal and 1 nearly accidents) fully informed/trained on the new MCAS systems and it's functionality, implications, and what to do if it went rogue?

Thanks.
