This was discussed in the prior threads but no solid reason for change in MAX where either switch disables all electric trim.

Also brought up is that the training changed some time ago to allways use both switches on suspect trim runaway.

Had this changed not been made the ET crew might have been able to recover by enabling manual electric trim only.
