It was reported months ago that the actual test pilots were kept out of the loop on the MCAS changes and had no idea the production version was all hanging off a single sensor. Whether this was by accident (due to rushing everything to meet target date), or by design (because they would have spoken out) isn't clear, it's also all from anon sources and no official verification is public, that I have seen.

WSJ reported it, but that is paywalled, but MarketWatch has most of it free to view: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bo...sts-2019-05-03
