ET 302 made several trim inputs - they also said they have control problems before MCAS started,

Since then we learn of microprocessor issues.

Ringing in my ears is "trim with me" - not help me with the ***ing trim wheel.

They knew they needed to trim- even if that was a bit late.

Actually the Lion guys kept the aircraft flying - not in a neutral trim but +/- a fair amount.
