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.
As they should! And not having a redundant sensor is obviosly not a good idea and Boeing obviously made wrong decisions here. But pilots not hitting cutout, Lion Air allowing plane with known faulty sensor to fly without a peep to incoming pilots...+

Boeing not off-the-hook, so we agree, but the reality is that aviation safety appears airline-proof because of excellent design, intense safety culture and regulation. But it is not airline proof, and weakneses in any of the three allow this fact to show through with tragedies.
