Or at the very least, entered into the aircraft maintenance log. Back in my flying days, we had to enter every issue, large or small, into the aircraft maintenance logbook, and we also had to check it before each new flight to see what other crews had experienced, and whether the fault was signed off as 'fixed' or an 'up' fault that we could take into the air with us on the next flight. I believe the tighter turnaround times of flights these day may either mean this step is rushed too quickly or omitted altogether...

It wasn’t clear to me from the article if this was the exact same plane or merely same type. But the hiding of this information on the initial reports of that incident suggest there might be some fear of corporate culpability. Perhaps the pilots DID log it and it was ignored and the plane was turned around and flown again with a faulty AoA and without passing on the “lessons learned”. Will be interesting as we learn more.
