There will be big litigation against Boeing on this issue. Pilot error or Boeing error Training error by lion? I guess will will see it all unfold over the next 24 months. Very costly error.
For the record I flew on a SWA 737 Max in Mid October. The plane was delivered to Southwest in July 2018. Very impressive plane. The only flaw there was on my flight was no WiFi that evening from Fort Lauderdale to Kansas City. It was not a big deal. Otherwise the Plane, Pilots and Crew were great.
Pushing for “self-flying” airplanes. That’s where this is going. (to save money and maximize profit) The selling point will be that it will save lives. No it won’t. Safety features can assist pilots, not take their places.

A good thing to do would be to familiarize yourself with the manual of the aircraft you are entrusted with. Especially when hundreds of live count on it.
