Everyone who works in the safety field has to deal with this. How do you think the MCAS engineers feel?
But let's rewrite history, and say Boeing decided to scrap MCAS before it ever shipped on a 737 MAX. Now let's say a MAX crashes from stalling on takeoff - the exact scenario MCAS was meant to prevent. How would those engineers feel? How would we be looking at Boeing if we knew there was work done on a prevention device, and the higher-ups decided to scrap it before it was completed?
No one engineer or manager is responsible for a tragedy. Organizations, sure, but no organization can be perfect. You can only try to use whatever power you have to guide it towards better practices and regulations.
