Yes, that's exactly what it is. And that in itself is a big deal.
But it is not the 'omg pilots knew about MCAS causing crashes and didn't/couldn't report it' that the media coverage is spinning it as. The title very misleading.
I've had people call me a 'boeing shill' (what would such a person even have to gain??) for pointing out these sorts of issues in the coverage back when the media was saying aoa-disagree would have prevented this from happening (it wouldn't, most commercial pilots have no native idea what aoa is, only airlines with ex-military pilots would get benefit from that package). The vast majority of people just read the headlines, assume them to be true, and move on.
