When all is said and done, if pilots are not “required” to have MAX simulator training that include MCAS failure recovery, I will do all possible to avoid getting on a MAX jet. In today’s world, and even while at the boarding gate, there are many tools at one’s disposal to determine aircraft type.
“A board of pilots concluded that pilots won’t need additional simulator training once the plane is returned to service” but ‘Boeing’s finalized software upgrade hasn’t been sent to FAA yet for approval.”
I would wait for a real FAA approval before deciding if simulator training will be necessary.
Anyway, I think that any simulator training will be much less expensive that an accident caused for an undetected glitch in the software. Boeing must play it safe this time and not make shortcuts if they want to regain public trust.
