> This is probably also why the FAA and airlines like Southwest were confident their pilots would handle this situation correctly. It's interesting to note that American Airlines released a statement that they have not observed any MCAS related malfunctions in any of their fleet data. In particular, there is only one account of (alleged) MCAS malfunction (possibly due to a faulty AoA sensor, which was subsequently replaced... hmmm.... new part still didn't fix it?) where the plane wasn't destroyed. And that account notes several drops in altitude before being able to stabilize. So, you better hope MCAS malfunctions at 8k feet about ground instead of 800.
