But...the whole concept of the 737 MAX was, "you don't need extensive retraining of your pilots, it's still a 737, and if they can fly a 737 they can fly this with minimal retraining." Otherwise, there was no purpose in designing a plane with this design; if you started from scratch you would put the wings higher up so that the engines would fit in the normal position, and the MCAS wouldn't be necessary.
So, "equally guilty"...is equally wrong. If this pilot thinks it's not reasonable to expect a typical 737 pilot to be able to react to an MCAS failure in time, then (given two crashes in the first year of use), he's probably correct.
