This address does nothing to make me feel better about flying on any future Boeing plane. They promise to fix the MCAS system in the current crop, but say nothing about the organizational choices and structures that allowed this to happen in the first place.
Allowing the company to produce a plane, equipped with a non-redundant system with control over the vertical attitude of the plane, and doing so in a way that intentionally minimizes the perceived impact and required training to operate a plane with this system is the true mistake here.
This is a failure of the both the FAA, Boeing, and pretty much every player along the chain.
