Thanks Xetro,
What I was getting at was the environment before the takeoff/last landing.
I just wonder what could get into a vane bearing. There may be dust of various origins at both the takeoff sites where the Max fights crashed.
For the crew dealing with a jam, the reason for it is secondary, except that a bird strike could be noticed at the time of failure.
