So I believe it is at best disingenuous to claim inadequate pilot training.
People cannot train for systems that are hidden from view, as was the MCAS.
If fully briefed FAA crews cannot recover the aircraft in simulator flights, I do not believe the average line pilot will do better.
The aircraft as currently configured is not airworthy. Is that so hard to accept?
No I do accept that and agree with all above.
I don't blame pilot training.
There still isn't an AoA input to Attitude or Thrust though. Which is what I said in my first post.
And specifically said I was not commenting on the wider arguments by doing so.
Edited for clarity.
