On a side note -
look how easy it is to save the plane with this simulation. Ignore the Oscar worthy acting of the instructor during the "simulated crash scenario".

Obviously the faster the plane is going, the more difficult it is to manually trim the plane using the wheel. However, had the Ethiopian pilots not left power to TOGA and were doing 300kts+, the wheel would have been easier to move!
This is the key. What are we doing at VMO + ? In an emergency?
At 240 kts steady, even a runaway stab x2 as MCAS is reported as running, you can still overcome it with ELEC trim - switches OFF and then, at the under control lower airspeed , use manual trim.
is that not so folks? I trained on 737 from 1986 until recently, all variants up to -800 and that’s how I’ve seen it done.
