It is very easy to make suggestions as to how each crew should/ could have handled the situation and I suspect the CVR/FDR readout will be disturbing.
Its 10+ years since I last flew the 737 but IIRC the memory items for a stall warning just after takeoff were to select Flap 1.
This was probably to safeguard a scenario where Flaps were selected UP and not the Gear.
Woukd the crews workload have reduced and a diagnosis been easier if Flap 1 had been selected even if speed well in excess of 250 kt?
This would also have disabled MCAS.
