As a semi-recovered aerophobe, 737 Max saga is quite disturbing. The key seems to me, from a legal & moral pov, the failure to require training on a very new feature of the plane. Technologies can have unexpected, tragic results. Failure to tell pilots abt it? V hard to explain.

“A source with knowledge of the aircraft told CNN that there is no mention of the MCAS in any of the plane's flight manuals, which are considered a bible of sorts to pilots and crew, and often used to trouble-shoot emergencies.”

Yes, though they should have briefed pilots on the MCAS. Still that's one part of it. But ordinary procedures cover what happened. That was Boeing's argument for not retraining because behaving as properly trained would have worked. And it did, when it happened to US airlines.
