If you experience a runway stab trim you should follow the QRH procedures for a runaway stab trim. And so on.
Pretty radical, isn't it?
Note that the MCAS failure presents itself as a runway stab trim so that would mean that, wait for it! You should follow the QRH procedures for runway stab trim! Amazing, yes?
Suggest re-reading the Prelim report on the ET accident
The crew were already dealing with multiple warnings including but not limited to stick shaker, Master Caution Anti-Icing, autopilot disengage prior to the first engagement of MCAS.
The Captain requested reporting of control difficulties to ATC 3 seconds BEFORE MCAS activated.
The suggestion that selecting the runaway trim checklist at this point was simple and straightforward airmanship is hubristic at best.
