Ok, we are going round and round.
As a 20,000 hour airline Pilot I will put my last, my very last, 2 cents worth in on this topic.
Every B737 Pilot worth his or her salary thinks they would have done better in both of this crash scenarios.
We can go round and round as much as you like but after many, many years of simulator exercises with Unusual Attitudes , Airspeed Disagree etc. etc. I am convinced that 98% plus of properly trained mainline crew with major legacy carriers would NOT have managed these events ending in a hole in the ground. Whatever the finding of the enquire into MCAS it will not be the end. The expansion of third world low cost carriers is a huge training and standards issue and isn’t going away. Just wait for the next shoe to drop.
