Thanks for the mention here. Can you tell me what I said that I knew about these planes? Like a quote of two where I pretended to know what happened, what should have happened while the plane was in trouble? I am heavily criticizing the FAA and Boeing for this, I will give you that. But I never said anything abuout how these systems worked, should have worked or what the pilots should or should not have done. I didn't say any of these things because I don't know. I am not a pilot.
At the other end of the spectrum, here are some snippets from a person that claims to not know what happened either
This malfunction was a manageable malfunction.
The odds of turning off the stab trim cutout switches and having MCAS continue to trim nose down are not impossible, but extremely low.
As for the report that the pilots disabled the software but the system continued trimming anyway....be very cautious and skeptical. It is highly unlikely. Nothing is impossible, but the odds of that being an incorrectly worded news story is magnitudes more likely than the trim continuing to run with the stab trim cutout switches placed in cutout.
