An important step in the re-gaining trust process will be for pilots to think through how the Lion and Ethiopian pilots would have coped if they had been using Boeing's MCAS fix (whatever it turns out to be). Two things have to happen first.

1. Boeing (or somebody) will have to disclose a lot more detail about MCAS-as-was and MCAS-fixed. For example, what does Boeing think caused the constant mismatch between left and right AOA sensors?

2. The CVR transcript and DVR dataset will have to be made public. The bits disclosed in the preliminary reports simply aren't detailed enough to figure out what the pilots did, and why.

Boeing's PR-campaign is no substitute for a hard-headed look by some independent engineers and pilots, Like those on this forum.

Unfortunately, the rules governing accident investigations don't permit releasing the data at this time. Somebody (or Boeing) will have to take the bull by the horns
to get the data out. The sooner it's out, the sooner the MAX can fly again.
