MCAS was designed by engineers in response to a design problem.
The MBAs elected to cover it up from the manual because that would hurt their sales goals of not needing pilot training.
Yes, sales/marketing and management leeches have a lot of control over documentation that leaves the company.
The best part is, it was the leeches that decided to make a fucking indicator light that told you the sensors for MCAS were unhappy, a PAID FUCKING ADDON.
The last CEO was an engineer who got thrown under the bus for the 737 crashes while not being the CEO when it was designed. He was pissing too many leeches off internally so they threw him under the bus.
I know two long time employees of Boeing that left after the last CEO was removed because roughly paraphrasing "Wow, this company is fucked, he was actually trying to fix the company"
Yes. And the design problems was created by MBAs that decided that they want:
1) to keep the new engines that change how the plane flies
2) a convincing lie that passes minimal scrutiny that the plane flies the same - to avoid training pilots to a perfectly good new plane
3) after engineering came with the MCAS solution MBAs drove the cost down and removed redundancy - after all the whole feature was a secret so no one would demand redundancy
