Thanks safetypee for clarification.

Substantive question, with regard to the operation of the trim wheel, and at least the objection (if that is a proper term here) of BALPA about the possibility of both pilots having to go hands-on to counter forces on the stabilizer: In this potential situation, are the risks relating to the trim wheel capable of being mitigated or even retired completely through specific training exercises? The return to service is built, in large part, upon creating augmented training components for pilots and upon the operators following through on conducting those trainings faithfully.

The potential situation of the PNF having also to go hands-on with the trim wheel would be, in and of itself, something "non-normal" - correct? Nevertheless, can the risks it presents be sufficiently reduced by means of a very specific element in the forthcoming training adaptations for the returned 737 MAX (and conceivably for other variants if applicable)?
