No. That was the 737 MAX. BTW, Boeing just sold another 200 737 MAXs in the first sales of that model since the two crashes.
And "well document habit of suddenly ceasing to be able to fly while in the air"? More like Boeing's selling the 737 MAX under the promise that no retraining for pilots used to flying older 737 models was needed. As the two crashes showed, the pilots were not familiar with some of the new automated features which, hopefully, would have been covered in a retraining course.
