The major carriers were always stricter. The 2013 rule changed to address a problem at the regional carriers.

Which I explicitly stated in my original post:
>>> The European carriers, on the other hand, do not have such strict requirements.

I weren't. I pointed out a specific misunderstanding in the comment I've responded to.

- 24gttghh 8y agoFair enough. Back to the actual issue here: "When it was rolled out, MCAS took readings from only one sensor on any given flight, leaving the system vulnerable to a single point of failure. One theory in the Lion Air crash is that MCAS was receiving faulty data from one of the sensors, prompting an unrecoverable nose dive. In the software update that Boeing says is coming soon, MCAS will be modified to take readings from both sensors. If there is a meaningful disagreement between the readings, MCAS will be disabled." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/business/boeing-safety-features-charge.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/business/boeing-safety-fe...
