The real problem was companies who didn’t adequately train their pilots.

No, it’s not. The root problem is a poorly designed system. Could training have mitigated the problem? Possibly but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a poor design if a failure point can cause an otherwise airworthy airplane to attempt to fly itself into the ground. You can train all you want but you have to design airliners so that an average pilot having a bad day can still fly it. You don’t always get Chuck Yeager at his best and an airplane that’s difficult to control when a minor sensor fails needs to be grounded and corrected. You can tsk-tsk all you want that the pilots should have been trained better but that doesn’t mean a whole lot when it’s your family that’s dead.

You don’t know what your talking about. Crew training would have saved all those lives but the Airlines that purchased these A/V didn’t want to pay for the training.. You seemed to forget that a AOA failed which caused the software to react.. It was the Pilot and Co-pilots actions that caused the crashes.. The same Indonesian Plane flew the day before and they had a Pilot in the jump seat. This A/V did the same thing and this pilot in the jump seat fixed the problem in 10 sec. Because he knew what to do...
Training DID save the last place that went down a day before it crashed. An off duty pilot flying in the passenger cabin was able to diagnose the problem and deactivate the MCAS.
