I don't think this is true - the newspaper that first made this claim overstated their findings. Pilots, in general, did not know about MCAS before the Lion Air crash.
- jussij 8y agoThis has very little to do with the existence of the MCAS but instead was the plane actually safe to fly and when did information come to hand to show that it was not. Consider this link: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-13/737-max-pilots-reported-two-control-issues-in-2018-to-nasa/10895542 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-13/737-max-pilots-report... From that link: Airline pilots on at least two US flights have reported that an automated system seemed to cause their Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes to tilt down suddenly. That reporting suggests problems were known well in advance of the first crash.
