..........and good luck getting your money back traveler. Happened to me two years ago on another airline who went Chapter 11. Haven't seen my refund and expecting I never will.

In my opinion, this is a major do-do on part of Boeing. The MCAS was a major change to OP's. AT MINIMUM this should have been plastered all over the manuals. In a situation such as this the cockpit has their hands full trying to determine what, why, how is happening. Even a simple note "POP the circuit breaker to disengage or over ride". Other opinion is why is a "prevent stall software change" even necessary. By the time I'm in the left seat I should have a pretty darn good idea how not to stall my 737? Doesn't seem like Boeing had a real discussion about implementing this change. Maybe we're all classified as dumb dumbs?

As in most Caribbean approaches in summer months, a lot of haze makes things hard to see add a tropical shower to the mix, a maxed out work load into a low or no visibility final and it's a recipe for a possible disaster. The flight was seconds from a major accident. Don't know the experience level in the cockpit but this situation got way way out of hand.

Sounds like a total blotched job by everyone involved. Go back and relearn your skill set.

If I was a passanger on that flight I'd find the PIC and give him a swift kick in the ash. As for the Captain----asleep at the wheel.

GA pilots do that all the time into St. Bart's. They'll take the tail wind rather then the mountain approach.
