Isn't the procedure something more like "if the trim automation is trying to kill us we will switch it off, grab the trim wheel if necessary, then continue to trim manually. This we know from memory?" The only difference is in recognizing the insidious hand of MCAS.

One question though. IIRC the failures in the Lionair incident also messed with the elevator feel system. How would that impact your ability to trim?
