Also, the media coverage (and even posts here) keep harping on the idea that all Boeing recovery procedures were followed, and yet they turned the trim cutout switches back ON in their desperation, which was certainly NOT part of the prescribed procedures. Seems as if that is some serious "dumbing-down" of the info.
The cut-out switches are not on the FDR plot. Whether they turned them back ON is pure speculation.
