What was Boeing through their heads? Emails show staff wouldn't put their families on a 737 Max over safety fears

Re: Decent aircraft

It is not an OK aircraft, it goes too quickly into a positive feedback loop in the nose-up attitude, which isn;t exactly a small and rare part of its flight envelope, it occurs during every take off. MCAS was supposed to correct that (and usually does), but is dependent upon a single angle of attack sensor. Once that single AoA sensor gets out of whack, the plane is more or less doomed.
