Much is said about the FAA's relationship with Boeing, but the failure of other worldwide authorities to question the FAA's line after the first crash was also a tragedy, because if they had been a little bit less deferential and more independent then perhaps the Ethiopian crash wouldn't have happened. There were pilots unions writing letters of concern about MCAS after the first crash, it wasn't taken seriously by any regulator and the result was deadly.

If true, very serious. Can you provide some references for this as I've not heard of it?

Back in march there was a link to a raw CSV dump of that database here on HN, but I can't find it again...
