all the MAX aircraft share the same configuration ...to stretch the 737 to " MAX " the engines were moved forward and up on the wing ....Boeing added software (mcas)to compensate for the engineering .....more concerning is the fact the Ethiopian first officer had 200 hours of flight time ....the F.O. normally handles the flying duties ....I would not fault the aircraft just yet....I think its safe to assume U.S. airline operated flights of the 737 have more seasoned crews aware of the MAX mcas system function
