Icarus:
So you accept knowledgeable pilots who say "MCAS is a crock" but ignore those who disagree with that statement?
False logic. The regulators - FAA and EASA, etc. say it is a crock and grounded the fleet. Knowledgeable pilots have explained in great detail exactly why it is a crock. Internal Boeing communications explain the motivation for the crock and the engineering solution to the problem of the Max not meeting the FAR’s in relation to yoke forces at high angles of attack. Furthermore Boeing internal communications show that Boeing actively discouraged customer simulator training on the Max for marketing reasons.
Furthermore aircraft production is not just temporarily halted but actually stopped.
But wait! There’s more.... the FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into the matter of how the Max was certified at all!
But wait! There’s even more - 300 lives lost in two accidents involving malfunctioning MCAS!
Disagreement with the statement that “MCAS is a crock” simply demonstrates that the person making such a statement is obviously not knowledgeable at all and should not be flying passenger aircraft.
To put that another way, do you also believe the world is flat?
