How else do you define 'critical'?
The question is
how critical? Clearly not DAL A. The assumption was with existing training and procedures it should be DAL C. And in both cases the crew could mitigate the failure via well established procedure and failed to.
Both crashes were at third world airlines with dismal crash records. Ethiopian has crashed
10% of their 737 fleet
in the last decade. This isn't like Qantas is crashing the MAX.
