this whole issue is about whether or not the 737 max 10 is different enough from other 737 models to require a totally different license for pilots. and in my opinion it isn't.
the feature and business practices which caused the the two crashes have been taken care of with software upgrades and new laws (there are redundancies in place in case of one angle of attack sensor failing and angle of attack information is no longer behind a 'paywall').
the plane is safe but profitability margins on airlines are low enough that not paying for a new type rating has serious impact on the demand of the plane which is a bigger problem than safety...
imo the problem here isn't politics or 'corporate corruption' but airline travel as a whole...trains, passenger ships and walking are more sustainable economically and environment wise.

No, they're talking about the specific feature that's in the new requirements, not changes they made after the crashes.
