A level of experience would have gone a long way to fixing this issue, many times 737’s have experienced issues with the Elec pitch trim after takeoff ( either runaways, locked or failed trims ) and handled the situation to a successful outcome by disconnecting the elec stab trim and using manual trim. They lived to tell the story and write it up in the book ( and make a report in the NASA database )

and that’s just the US failures I’ve located, there would be many more stab trim runaways and failures around the World in the last 20 years....

Thats the way it is.......

There is no substitute for experience, full stop end of story.
