I have thousand of hours in command on the 737 and I cannot remember in fifteen years flying it, ever needing to use the cutoff switches in real life. Sure it was a regular simulator drill and I certainly hope that I would have immediately done the right thing. But honestly do I think that the average pilot on takeoff at o dark hundred would have reached down for them like some Wild West gunslinger? I am pretty sure not all of them would have. I respect the views of a number of contributors above and I loved flying the 737. But honestly I do not think you can paint the whole MCAS business as anything other than some very poor decision making on the part of Boeing.
