I understand the point that the aircraft itself is probably safe (up to the fact that we don't know what caused the latest crash), but there appears to be an inconsistency between these opinions (emphasis added:)
- not everything is back from the Lion Air incident, but internally there was strong confidence that a lack of pilot familiarity with the adjusted mechanics of MCAS contributed to the disaster.
- training for the 737-8 and -9 was just short of non existent because in practice, these planes don’t fly differently.
My best guess is that the latter refers only to the situation where things are working properly, and may also ignore the what-its-like-for-a-pilot issues raised in ASRS report 1555013, as mentioned by hnnmzh in another reply to this post.
Plus, at the time of the Lion Air crash, no-one had said anything to pilots about these 'adjusted mechanics'.
