Only flown the -4/500 and for only a limited time: .... megan, that is exactly the point.

In a real-life scenario, with crew perplexed and under heavy cognitive load with unreliable airspeed due to (not indicated) AoA fault, the moment pilots say sod all, is this the trim trying to kill us?! is unknown.

Dedicated crew training to enable timely recognition of the phenomena was made not available. Needless to say, that taking classes does not guarantee field performance - hence the current road towards a technical solution.
