1. Boeing really, really screwed up the MAX design process.
2. The FAA really, really dropped the ball when it came to oversight, and other certificate authorities were too prone to trust them.
3. The maintenance process at Lion Air had some glaring deficiencies.
4. The current training regime present at many airlines does not properly equip pilots to deal with problems that present multiple malfunctions and/or ambiguous symptoms.
I think it would be a shame not to address each of these.
