b1lanc, no material or significant disagreement to comments relating to, existence of MCAS in KC-46 for USAF.
Nevertheless in context of legal manuevers very likely to occur or which already are underway intensely . . . and these include the liability lawsuits for the crashes, the criminal investigations, and the SWAPA lawsuit....getting at basic, underlying factual sets can make a lot of difference (or all of it - "cases are won and lost in discovery").
As these matters stand now, based on publicly reported information, the questions about the interplay between the USAF tanker system and Boeing's discussions with FAA all would be ruled relevant for purposes of discovery (I think there could very well be some of Flight Alloy's "Sky Blue" retirement wheels involved in what gets unearthed, too); and in DOJ investigation on the prosecutorial side as well.
Not looking to drift on this, how these interactions will cycle into, and then out of, the intensifying legislative initiatives to re-do FAA delegation . . . I'll just nod in the general direction of a note OldnGrounded has sounded ( & others); this crisis is a very multi-legged and -footed beast, as the shoes keep...on dropping.
