"Amazingly good MCAS recoveries" are a crew success, yes, but they are even more a sign of aircraft and regulatory failure. You aren't acknolwedging that the MAX-8 has serious issues no matter where the pilot learned to fly.

American pilots are top notch. However, the pilots themselves don't want to be put in the position of saving the aircraft, and a big part of the FAA's charter is to ensure that they don't have to.

Does your chain of safety include feeding a twitchy automated system from a single sensor?
