Add me to those who believe that yoko1 has added much to this discussion. I believe that what he is saying is that any solution that brings the MAX back into service will have to address the pilot training and capability issues that have contributed in no small way to the two accidents. He has not attacked "foreign" or "third world" specifically except to say that is where you can find a 300 hour FO in a cockpit. I would think it helpful if yoko1 would offer a concise review of what his position has been on this board, but I believe that he is on record as accepting the software design flaws of Boeing multiple times over. But the title of this thread is about "safety procedures" and clearly training of pilots falls under that title.
I hold a single engine land/sea instrument license since the 1970s, and have owned and flown a Lake LA-4-200 for for over 30 years.
