The MCAS put the aircraft into an almost (or totally) unrecoverable situation at low altitude and no BS about untrained inexperienced pilots is worth a pinch of rocking horse poo.

I cannot concur here.
The Boeing software design error is proven and accepted. Thats not the point here though.This crew did not fly the plane. Single side UAS after takeoff is not difficult.The stick shaker is a huge distraction but they are commercial aircrew acutely aware of the Lionair precedent.They know about MCAS and how it can be triggered in manual flight with flaps UP.Like all good aircrew they will have formulated a plan of action which will help them focus and overcome the danger of the stick shaker and its effect on the human brain's ability to think.
They will brief on what they will do....for every departure!
ISFD and FO ASI are functioning and in agreement.The Captain need only hand control to the FO and instruct him to fly a
manual visual pattern at 1500 keeping takeoff flap
setting and
land immediately..Right hand on the stick,left hand on the thrust levers,feet guarding the rudders.
Fly the plane.
Boeing UAS NNC not applicable here! Just land the plane.
