Boeing admits 737 Max sims didn't accurately reproduce what flying without MCAS was like

Re: Boeing - would you buy an aircraft from them?

The aircraft is not dynamically unstable, the max just behaves differently from earlier 737s in certain phases of flight. Because it behaves and handles differently it needs a kludge to bias controls to make it feel like a 737 would In those flight phases thus not requiring crew training or certification as a new type.

If that kludge was not used, the pilots could be trained to accept and deal with the pitch up under power behaviour and there would not have been two fatal crashes.
