Boeing presumably expect the MAX to have a 20 year in service life and the fact that this would involve a 1960s master caution system and associated warning lights as the main interface between pilots and system malfunctions to persist into the 2040s is almost unbelievable.
Flightcrew training has become increasingly systemised through CBT and many modern pilots started their flying career with Microsoft rather than in a tiger moth or a C150 and they are now far more SOP and rule based in their approach to problem solving compared to when the original B737 was designed and an EICAS or ECAM is central to all modern flightdecks in order to assist with non normal ops.
Crews in future years will either be flying modern Airbus or Boeing designs or if selected for the Max, a 1960s throwback.
In my view, if the crews of the 21st century do not have an adequate warning system providing full systems information, then the aircraft is not fit for purpose.
