Re: I'd fly in one today.
Apart from Boeing not giving training on the system and how to override it? It is a responsibility of the manufacturer to make pilots and airlines aware of new features and to roll out training to them, especially safety critical systems.
It is truly shocking that a system has to have an optional extra to tell you that i isn't working properly. That there is minimal to zero redundancy in a safety critical system, that airlines and pilots weren't even told about the system and that the results of a failure ar enot obvious and result in a very sudden plummet to earth. It is a real worry that the risk management in Boeing has stooped so low.
Now if faulty sensors are common and so disabling MCAS is needed quite often the airplane then becomes less safe without it working (due to the instability of the engines).
Ethiopian airways had a good reputation, much better than American Airlines.
