The pilots may in a developed case have their hands full with pulling on both control columns.
Even with MCAS itself solved, with the existing mechanical trim hardware (also for the NG), a cabin crew member might apparently need to be trained to come to the rescue and kneel over the center stand (pedestal) to help cranking the mechanical trim wheels.
Logically, another assistant will already be required to be in the vacant pilot’s seat during any absence of one pilot from the cockpit to assist with pulling on the control column just in case a serious trim problem suddenly occurs.
How much chance for the adoption and how much time for the certified training of all this?

Reason: Layout; NG applicability added.
