Flocks,
One of the discoveries when a magnifying glass was passed over the trim runaway training in light of some real-world incidents with the MAX is that it appears that BA "forgot" to implement correct force feedback on the trim wheels in the sims, including the NG. Due to the shrunk trim wheels implemented in the NG, the real forces required may be above what can be expected of some crews.
Another discovery is that BA has become bad at passing essential information to the pilot community.
