The 737 MAX should never fly again. It needs to be renamed so that hotshot pilots who know the 737 don’t automatically think they know how to fly the MAX. That is what got them into trouble on those two crashes.

I think you might just be right about the name.
I've said this before, I don't think the mistake was adding the bigger engines or the concept of the MCAS. Fly by wire has been the norm in military and commercial aircraft for a long time and it's safe and proven. What's not is Boeing hanging everyone's lives on a single little weathervane hanging off the nose with no thought of what would happen if it failed.

There is so much more information available to confirm the plane is about to stall, but they didn't even consider the pilot could simply look out the window.
