Prior to the second accident, there was a growing consensus at my airline that the best way to operate the MAX until a long-term fix was implemented was to keep the flaps extended until the A/P was engaged on all departures. If a potential AOA problem was detected before then, then don't retract the flaps at all. Why the Ethiopian Captain elected to clean up with a known stick shaker is one of the great mysteries of this accident.
That is a very good point ,Ihavent thought about that!
I’ll implemented
