Stick pushers aren't anything new, and the sad irony is that except for the two tragedies, MCAS worked so well that in the thousands of flight hours the Max had, no pilot had even noticed it. It absolutely was the fault of the engineers who failed to realize what would happen with an AOA fault. I'd love to be corrected, I don't believe a single email from the engineers to management telling them would would happen was ever dug up. And, there's never been an engineer whistleblower saying "I warned them." Has a single PE lost their license over the Max?

> that in the thousands of flight hours the Max had, no pilot had even noticed it. This is false. At the time of the incident (>1month) The FFA and NTSB found 23 reports of uncommanded pitch down attitudes during takeoff. Quick Google gave me this. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/it-pitched-nose-down-us-pilots-previously-reported-boeing-737-max-8-aircraft-problems/3853o32nm https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/it-pitched-nose-down-us-...
