> Airlines will have serious reason to consider other manufacturers if they can’t just throw pilots behind the stick with minimal training.
Hopefully the regulators will seriously investigate if it is safe to assume that the retraining is not needed even with modified MCAS.
Just claiming that pilots will easier deactivate MCAS, or that, after the "fix", MCAS will deactivate itself if there is some problem should not be enough: without MCAS running the plane just doesn't behave as the one for which the pilots were trained.
