Seems that for some crews switching stab trim off is very unlikely even when the trim is motoring way down and making things uncomfortably heavy and for some reason the AoA vanes have a lot higher failure rate in the Max.
Yes but I find this response unconscionable.

I think I would have found it.

You think you would have found it.

Two professional crews flew it into the ground within a few months very early in the adoption cycle of this aircraft.

Training and experience didn't change.

What changed was the introduction of MCAS.

I can't find that the fault of the aircrew and don't see how anyone else can.
