The problem with reporting around this issue is that its emotionally driven and done often by people who have little experience with how the aviation industry works. So while the exact details are accurately reported in aviation industry news, the mainstream news keeps parroting things that are false and confirmation bias keeps people from picking up when those things are false. The departure from reality in this case is pretty severe: 1. There were severe issues with pilot's performance on both flights. 2. Airline maintenance is culpable in the Lion Air flight. 3. MCAS is required irregardless of what type certificate is used. 4. Boeing's "new problems with the 737" are not as much a result of faults previously ignored, but new issues created by reassessing the risk factors related to those systems. 5. The 737 MAX is not aerodynamically unstable. 6. The 737 MAX issue has brought to light severe issues in the aviation industry that may require retraining many pilots in the industry or being way more aggressive with refresh training (also see the Atlas Air crash recently).
