The Rudder System (http://www.b737.org.uk/theruddersystem.htm) Hope this helps.

This issue emerged in bold relief (see what I did there?) after the AF447 crash report, and everybody freaked-out. Did it change anything? Maybe a bit of training to recognize a stall, but it is...

This is unfair, bordering on the slanderous. Are 737 pilots who happen to agree with him about airmanship really his "cohorts"? You make it sound like a plot.

Quite. Welcome to 2019. So I would submit that, given the environment in which we find ourselves, it's no wonder that 737 Driver insists that we know how to fly the damn plane. Seems pragmatic and...

737 Driver:
What you say (and keep on saying) makes manifest sense. Basic competency is an absolute requirement for this gig.

I don't believe it is spin on the part of The Media. It's just too complicated to process all this information into something understandable and digestible for the public.

Well, quite. I didn't intend to say that "mistakes can never be made," but rather that we not mention them so casually as if they don't matter. Sometimes they do. I'll sit down and be quiet now.
