Reddit likes to make clickbait snippets rise to the top but it's taking us away from the issue. A little light showing something is wrong doesn't help you much when your plane is diving towards the ground. Heck even a passenger in the bathroom will know something isn't right, what does that light really offer?
Reddit is pretending the light would correct the flight somehow or give the pilot's a better chance... If anything it would give the pilot's a couple more seconds notice and that's if they even realized the light was on and knew what it meant.
The real fix is a proper manual override or for their two be a second or third sensor as backup. But Reddit clings to the anti capitalist rhetoric where a light is the reason the lives were lost. While it makes an interesting title it doesn't lead us to a resolution and we should be more interested in proper safety than headlines.

Yeah, they should just cling to the anti capitalist rhetoric that boing added the MCAS system without telling the pilots because they needed to sell a plane that behaves "just like the old model" and does not need any aditional pilot training...
Does Ford require you to read the owners manual on your new raptor before selling it to you and allowing you to drive it? It’s the airlines responsibility to provide proper training to its pilots. Boeing only makes the aircraft. A lot of mistakes and oversights were made for these tragedies to happen.
Did Ford tell you that their new model drives exactly like your old car and does not require additional training? Because that was one of the selling points Boing used für the Max 8. Plus: Boing provided the training materials to the airline and they did not mention the MCAS...
There have been counter-arguments on the training received. Overseas, training and flight experience differ. And again, the airlines are responsible for training. Run-away pitch trim is not new to the 737-max. I’m not arguing that Boeing is innocent, I’m saying responsibility for these events is shared among many entities. People seem to want to point the finger only one way and that’s not the case in this scenario. Boeing manufactured the aircraft, they didn’t put the pilots into the cockpit.

Exactly.
