The more I think about it the less likely I think the most recent crash will end up being attributed to the MCAS system.

Why? Because with what we know now I could have prevented the Lion Air crash. Any airline flying these planes would have been criminally negligent to have not issued guidance to all of it's crews pointing out the system, the potential danger and the workaround. Any pilots who've gone through their annual sim time will no doubt have had a trim-runaway situation thrown at them.

I obviously have no data beyond what has been released to the public but I'd be unsurprised to here this was completely unrelated.




Honestly, I'm not sure what's wrong with that statement. There is plenty of president for aircraft which went through special airworthiness investigations, the MU-2 for example, and came out the other side without fault.
