Runaway trim is supposed to be part of the "memory checklist" for pilots. The symptoms of MCAS are the same as runaway trim and the fix is the same (which is why Boeing didn't feel like extra pilot training was needed), so I'm curious to see the most recent investigation and hear the black box voice recorder. Did they not know they were dealing with runaway trim? Did they think it was something else? Did they forget the memory checklist? Was there not enough height to deal with runaway trim regardless? Were the symptoms different than runaway trim, confusing the pilots?
The black boxes will be very illuminating on this respect, especially since we never recovered the Lion Air black box voice recorder.
