... if only someone had warned them stockpiling an airliner with a history of rushed and deficient design being subejected to immense scruntity by regulators and the public might not be such a great idea.
At least no engineers, subcontractors, suppliers and subordinates to blame for this decision. They will have to take the consequences though. No golden parachute for them

Does the code in the MCAS have a "Bit Bucket"?

As embedded software engineer I can assure you, that there will be no genie in the bottle trying to fix unspecified exetions somehow. Deterministic behaviour is king. This ain't no crappy web app aiming to present a seamles UI even if the code under the hood faults every now and then.
