U.S. judge dismisses two charges against former Boeing 737 MAX technical pilot
WASHINGTON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Tuesday dismissed two charges against a former chief technical pilot for Boeing Co (BA.N) accused of deceiving federal regulators evaluating the company's 737 MAX jet, but rejected a request to dismiss the other four counts.

Instead of admitting the MAX should probably require a new type certificate, Boeing,as always, sistered the new ship on a fifty year old TC.
New gear architecture, big new motors, and a tendency to climb rather robustly, it wasn't just a new manual and Bob's yer uncle.
"Nothing really novel here boys...."
A charade in plain sight... Don't give a firecracker to a four year old.....
It is a very different aircraft, and too many people died in the farce...

Do you want to change the rules, or do you just want to complain?
Just setting the table Captain....
Boeing put an untrained stick pusher (AoA driven Auto Trim)into the Max because the plane is way hot, and wants to climb in a big way.
The shaker and pusher aren't enough? Fair enough. But let's
at least add MCAS into the syllabus, and the Sim....

You set the table, but you didn't answer the question.
No, you cannot "switch off" MCAS. To recover requires disabling Pitch Trim. Rather a drastic step, and not in any way intuitive, imo.
Once a "correction" is accomplished with elevator, the fatal dance is begun. Picking a trim fight with the HS is end of....

if both the problem and the fix are the same as it is for a runaway stabilizer, how is following the runaway stabilizer procedure not intuitive?
By the way, the Autotrim (MCAS) is interrmittent, disguising itself as a transient "problem" to the MCAS unaware pilots....
MCAS might be intermittent, but whatever is causing it to activate is not (whether based on valid data or not). It's a symptom, not a cause.
And I know we've managed to allow this notion of the "unaware pilot" to become normalized over the past couple years, but repetition isn't the same thing as reality.
