In the wake of the two MAX accidents, pilots shouldn't have to ask to see either an Airspeed Unreliabe during takeoff or Runaway Stab Trim. Lack of familiarity and/or proficiency with these procedures played a role in both crashes. They are memory items for goodness sakes, and pilots shouldn't expect to become proficient in their execution by reading a manual. This should absolutely be one of recommendations coming out of these investigations. Another troubling aspect is that a single AOA malfunction cannot be accurately depicted with the current sim programming. Another thing that needs to be fixed.
