I'm not actually convinced that Fred Tecce, "Commercial pilot and aviation expert" has actually flown the Max himself. The quote you've used also is interestingly phrased: "If you talk to the pilots who fly them", because it seems he might not be one of them. Instead, he's described as a "commercial aviation expert" who is defending the FAA. Possibly (un)related, he used to be a federal prosecutor.
