Its buried in the thread, but if you want an up to date reference, the 60 Minutes documentary (video and text) provides some interviews. For example Dennis Tajer (APA union). See:

Days after the Lion Air disaster, Boeing finally revealed the existence of the MCAS system, shocking pilots around the world.
American Airlines veteran pilot Dennis Tajer told Hayes, “I called our safety experts and said, ‘Where is this in a book?" And they said, ‘It's not’.”
Tajer said the admission from Boeing felt like “betrayal”.“This is an unforgiving profession that counts very heavily on the pilot's knowledge, background, and training, and there are lives depending on that."
