Apples and Oranges.
Ethiopian was flyable using the processes and techniques that Boeing had recommended (as one of the Indonesian crews had demonstrated) - something that the pilots failed to do for whatever reason.
The AA 191 DC-10 was NOT flyable
using the processes and techniques that were recommended at that time. Yes, it was flyable - but not with the processes and techniques that the manufacturer recommended, and the crew had been trained with. The crew followed their training to the letter - training that did not account for the type of failure they experienced which had dramatically altered the stall characteristics of the aircraft.
