Indeed, not only were the crew poorly-informed about MCAS, they certainly would be unlikely to link this to a miniature "AOA disagree" sign. Even if it flashes (does it?); to say proudly that "WE have an "AOA disagree!" warning light", is one of the most pathetic excuses that I have ever heard (and believe me, I've heard a lot).

I too, have an interest in safety, although of a rather different kind.

AOA disagree on the PFD will not flash.
