I think the FAA should come out with a public statement of immunity and job security for any Boeing employee who was aware and/or participated in company communications regarding concerns about the MAX no matter how insignificant. There might have to be cooperation with law enforcement but that would help flush out the real story of who knew what and when they knew it.
PLEASE QUIT THE PILOT BLAMING. I’m still seeing posts that are clearly veiled with insinuations. I’m also glad nobody took the bait on that post a few pages back claiming not to be a B vs A post.
BTW..I’m not clear if my Canadian brother was actually talking about the MAX in his test flight post. If he was there was no mention of his findings. He might have been testing another plane.
Carry on...
RE the continuing bit about pilot training and expertise- such training and even mention in the manuals for the last several decades re trim wheel and use has been deleted- and sims apparantly did NOT duplicate the real forces involved

for specifics.
And in this SLF defense of the pilots and the continuing bit re reduce speed and fly and yada yada yada - Consider if you were less than 5k above ground, cows getting bigger no matter what, and knowing that pulling power give you more NOSE DOWN when you already have the secret HAL overriding you every 5 seconds when trim switch is released, and pulling back on yoke expecting the NG response which stops the Stab trim- NOT knowing that that doesn't work either, and never mentioned in any AD--- what other result would one expect??
