Pilots always need training.

We as consumers should put some blame on the airlines too for always wishing to skimp on training and thus giving perverse incentives to Boeing to mess around with crap like MCAS.

I still think Boeing is to blame for the MAX issues in the end but the problem is systemic.

The previous ceo gutted their safety culture to bare minimum the plane still able to achieve flight. Anything else is a cost that hinder his bonus. I really wish wistleblowers willing to leak out the risk-cost assessment excel spreadsheet that rumor to exist a decade. Not only MAX, their older models which still in production also have very lax production supervision I read in one of the article back when their MAX planes crashed.
