I am not sure what you are trying to say exactly, however the re-certification that should be required for the 737-MAX was exactly the reason for introducing the MCAS software to prevent the crew certified for older 737 models from pushing the nose into the ground on take-off. That, together with glossing over the major design change so that no pilot would flag "hey, this is a new plane, we should get a proper new certification for this" contributed to the two crashes, murdering 350something people over profit.
Boeing wanted to sell a new plane model with significantly altered aerodynamic behavior as a "variant" of an existing one so airlines could save cost on not having to re-certify pilots.
I'm saying if the newer, problematic planes aren't going to be forced to ground by regulators, pilots should refuse to fly them. Surely there are plenty of planes still flying built by Boeing before they sold souls. Surely those won't require massive retraining. Fly them instead.
If I learned anything in my time on this planet is that there are far too few people in the world willing to stand up for their principles :(
