With all due respect, you miss my point. If an aircraft designer relies on flight crew to carryout an action that ends up being essentially impossible (or very, very difficult at certain phases of flight, given certain scenarios), that is a design flaw - no sense blaming flight crew for that! The fact that all Max pilots were clearly primed for this situation after Lion only emphasises my point - don't you think the crew would have be extremely well versed with what they were expected to do in that scenario? A little causal analysis goes a long way, rather than jumping to conclusions.
Oh, the mindset of common sense and reason and responsibility for ones actions is it?
