But..it's the pilots' faults, right? Wasn't that the consensus from the experts, the last I checked the last thead on it? The pilots didn't knowhow to shut off the auto-pilot and do a manual trim with that wheel thing. Not the plane's fault.
As I understood it....
The manual trim wheel is not usable due force required to move it, on prior models when auto trim/computer circuit breaker was 'off' the pilots powerassisted trim from yoke switch worked - in the MAX this switch was made to be unpowered forcing use of manual trim wheel which of course wasunusable.
Besides simple fact that reducing power in stall condition is about the most un-natural thing to do! which is whats partly required to stabilizeflight due engine position.
Bad design outright for a passenger aircraft.

The system moved the trim down 2.5 units, sending the plane into descent. As first reported in The Seattle Times, FAA officials believed, based on Boeing's initial system safety assessment of the MAX aircraft, that MCAS was only supposed to be able to move the trim by 0.6 units, not 2.5. When MCAS is activated in the cockpit and moves the horizontal stabilizer, a large wheel beside each pilot that's mechanically connected to the stabilizer begins to spin. Potty racers 3. This is the manual trim.
