It has been noted by others that differences training from B737-800 to B737-8 does not require emphasis on the MCAS.Boeing wants to keep it simple. If you get a hold of the Runaway Stabilizer Non Normal Checklist you can see why.If correctly followed it CAN resolve the issue. But like all non-normals it requires a well trained Pilot and the correct response to the condition. Having personally experienced an Airspeed Unreliable event in-flight I can only say that the startle factor is massive.Simultaneous stall and overspeed warnings is a challenge to say the least. You dont have long to make the right call.Same for runaway stab.Still the most likely cause is incorrect response to the condition.Having said that I have great sympathy for the crew.Very easy to play monday morning quarterback.Why the aircraft was cleared to line after 3 sectors with a know problems is another question.
