Is there a writeup for why Boeing Max planes are grounded rather making sure all pilots are up to speed—since even if this is same issue as Lion Air the problem is behavior wasn't documented? Grounding planes is a drastic measure that may well lead to many deaths from driving.

One key tenent of safety culture is that alternatives have to be weighed for all decisions, and while two plane crashes five months apart is worthy of a very very serious investigations, it's still a super rare event. Will the grounding result in more driving is a real question.

Replying to @zeynep
but, who wants to fly on a plane that is "worthy of a very very serious investigation"?

Given what we know, I'd have no hesitation on a major commercial airline. Lion Air had sensor problems, including the previous day's crew, and that plane probably should not have been flying. MCAS is the next layer interaction/problem.https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/08/asia/lion-air-sensor-replaced-intl/index.html …
