Yes I have. The plane was not airworthy and they tried with cleaning connectors and changing one AoA vane. But the problem was still there and the last crew did not use the trim cutout switches. Which still leaves open, what was the cause.
With that up to now unknown failure the overwhelming MCAS trim authority came to light.
And a few month later the next MAX stuck in the ground with similar erratic altitude pattern.
