Yeah, but the cutout switches operate the other way to all the other switches on the aircraft. Boeing switches are up for off, while the stab cutout switches are down for off. In all that confusion, with the stick shaker going of and the trim running away, who is to say that a low-hours pilot would not get confused....?

Are you kidding me? Are you flying a 737?
I think that all 737 pilots know this switch goes down instead of up to turn it off.
There is always a superman, who knws everything. But how many times have you operated these switches? I think I have touched them twice in 10 years. Still know which way they operate? And warnings going off all over the place; and the aircraft pitching up and down, possibly violently; and you only have 200 hours on type .... still know which way these switches operate...?
