737 pilot here.

What concerns me, is that many people are saying “I’d just set Power and Pitch, I’d notice if the aircraft was trimming against me, and move the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches” Which, following the Lion Air accident, was exactly what I was thinking.

However, if this accident also turns out to be MCAS related, do we need to explore the possibility that the MCAS operation in flight, combined with the possibility of Airspeed Unreliable, Stall Warning, Possible Windshear alerts, is much more violent and hard to control than we initially thought?

Two sets of pilots can’t deal with it- is my aircraft actually flyable under these conditions 1000ft above the ground?
