From now on, I think I'm going to save BDAttitude's post, just above, and paste it in as a response to repeated assertions that "it's not anti-stall."
OAG,
If you take a peek back at the locked thread on the ET accident, I mentioned that if MCAS was described as an "anti-stall" device, then the MAX would have to have a new type certificate as it differed from the previous 737 variants.
