> Boeing didn't include training for a new anti-stall automation regime in their type cert update class for existing 737-rated pilots moving to the 737 MAX. There was apparently a malfunctioning angle of attack sensor, which caused a software data conflict which caused the anti-stall assist (which the pilot wouldn't have known existed) to repeatedly trim the aircraft nose-down.
If this is accurate, it's beyond criminal. If they're putting pilots in planes with automated systems without any knowledge of those systems, let alone how to operate/override them, someone needs to be behind bars and is responsible for the deaths of those people.
