Exceptionally well written piece. You should not have to be a flying ‘ace’ to overcome shocking design. The 737 is/was designed to be flown by a wide variety of pilots. I wonder how many flew the accident profile in the simulator and managed to avoid catastrophe...without early selection due to prior knowledge.

I've read page after page on this elsewhere and the most significant thing I've read is:

"Why didn't the condition 'AoA Disagree' inhibit MCAS?"

Poor programming and lack of adequate testing most likely.

Spot on.....and dodgy Certification in my view.

Those are contributory factors certainly, but we would need to go back to the requirements to determine whether that is the case. Coding will only be to the defined specification, which links back to requirements; testing, likewise.
The regulator (FAA) will be looking to find all of the holes in the Swiss cheese. Foreign (sic) regulatory bodies will be doing the same when it comes to certifying the aircraft and probably including the FAA in their Swiss cheese model.

The halting of production is a significant development, in that it indicates that Boeing are still some way away from a design that can be certified.
