>Also, several pilots have said their airlines didn't require new simulator training to fly the Max. Right. The media repeatedly reminded us that pilots only had a 2-hour orientation on an iPad for the new 737 MAX. I was wondering if a 737 MAX simulator that could replicate the AOA failures even existed. If Boeing's own internal test pilots had no ability to synthesize a broken AOA with misbehaving MCAS in the flight sim, it means that forcing the airlines to pay more money to have all their pilots more comprehensively trained in a 737 MAX simulator may not have prevented the crashes. The 737 MAX simulator hardware/software would still had to have been modified. Pilots can't train for an edge case scenario that the simulator can't artificially produce. Also in an alternate universe, a "more realistic" sim with AOA failure could have provided feedback loop to the Boeing engineers to adjust the MCAS software to be less aggressive and/or emphasize the need for 2 AOA sensors instead of just 1.
