Well, the chickens are finally coming home to roost.
Mny of us wondered about the basic aero of the new 737 when we found out that Boeing had to add a doofer to require more back stick force ( not movement) as the plane got to "x" AoA. Not stall AoA!!!! An AoA where the requirements dictated increasing back stick as the plane approached "x" AoA. Not stall!! The p;lane already had a shaker to let clueless pilots know something was bad unless releasing back stick. The plane already had a speed/AoA thingie that reversed trim if you wnet faster or slower - STS. So what's another kludge to overcome basic aero problems for cable and pushrod and pulley controls?
I only flew one jet that had the stick lightening as it approched a subsonic stall, And I only felt it once, because I pulled more than I shou have and the wings were buffeting and even rocking a bit. Duhhh? Maybe you should ease off a bt, Gums?
The 737 needs a few test pilots to fly the damned thing with no MCAS or STS activated and then publish the pitch coefficients for AoA versus pitch tendency and control stick force/movement. True transparency. And a few of we lowly pilots might have the technical savvy to understand what the plots were telling us.
