You have to love the statement that US trained crews would have successfully resolved the malfunctioning MCAS, immediately diagnosed Runaway Trim and carried out the Memory Items. Mmmm. Despite the not so subtle implication of the superiority of US training, Boeing wilfully sold Max’s to Lion Air, Ethiopian and other 3rd world operators without adequate operational or engineering oversight. The stab trim through STS will move on its own under various FCOM described situations. At what stage do you interpret Runaway Stab? The 737 series, more than adequate in its evolution up to the -300 era should have been surpassed by a mini 787 fbw type. The continued ‘bits bolted on’ has got Boeing to this place with the 737. I agree that you can’t dump the quasi criminal lack of corporate oversight and regulation on one man. The blame goes all the way to the top.
