Boeing at X-Roads?
If they did occur and were never reported how would the press report on that? If they were "nothing burgers" then wasn't the original evaluation by Boeing correct? The first incident we know about was reported by the crew to their maintainers; certainly a search of operator records would find similar problems where the pilots shut off the electric trim in order to restrain MCAS.
Are the US operators complicit in hiding information about MCAS?

Not sure if I am missing out on some news, but hasn't the MCAS defect been modded at this point?
Kinda sorry to see this turn into an MCAS hamsterwheel.

It all blends together. The EICAS shoe is still waiting to drop, which with the most recent extra years delay of the MAX 10 might well be revisited, as the waiver for modern crew alerting is written into law with a date that depends on the certification of the MAX 10.

Just highlighting one subpart, the planned appearance before a Senate Subcommittee of the most recently publicized whistleblower - depending on what is revealed and whether his (anticipated) revelations about 787 production imply (or even demonstrate) new and serious concerns - could provide the political cover and impetus for FAA to take an even more stringent approach to any and all pending matters before the agency.
