Also practiced this when transitioning to the B737-200
but this practice was not in the programme when transitioning to the B737-400 and B737-800.’

Would the procedure have worked in the simulation of the later aircraft, perhaps not #90. If not then why no questions / safety report to Boeing ; who knew, when, and why no FAA intervention; certification or training. What are the effects of increased tail area on this drill.
Would - will the procedure work in later aircraft; i.e. would crew’s in these aircraft have similar difficulties in managing a trim runaway, as did those in the Max accidents when using the runaway drill for MCAS trim problems.
