[/LIST]I don't disagree, but I suspect that as soon as check rides changed to be unscripted with potential for multiple malfunctions, a significant proportion of pilots would fail.
At best, they...

US airlines (including SWA) couldn't fly a MAX to...

Much more than 30 years.
The last commercial B737NG went off the assembly line only in the last few weeks, and they're still building P-8A & E-7 airframes that are B737NG-based.

USA-only certification

Danger All new 737s are now MAX, and parked
