FTA: "another of Boeing’s bewildering failures" he refers to the MCAS implementation as "throwing the airplane wildly out of trim" and "No one I spoke to from Boeing, Airbus or the N.T.S.B. could explain the reasoning here."

You are trying to hold pilots accountable in some vague sense, so what of holding Boeing and the FAA accountable in a non-vague sense? How is the actual delivered form of MCAS reasonable? How do you expect, given available factual flight data from both flights, MCAS induced mistrim to be avoided? Do you agree that it must be avoided at the low altitudes both of these flights were at, because it's not possible to recover from mistrim at low altitude?

If this were just about pilot training and certification, why are these airplanes grounded around the world? You really think the problem is just with a handful of "3rd world" pilots? Do you even realize that the Ethiopian Airlines pilot was one of their most experienced, and this experience as a fighter pilot is demonstrated in his recovery attempts shown in the flight data?

I mean, it's almost like some people don't know what they're talking about, yet call their nonsensical prattle "the truth" because they enjoy trying to aggravate thinking people, quite possibly the only actual skill they have.
