Really? Trim runs pretty slow.
Seems like this guy would have realized something was wrong when his neck tie was skewed 30 degrees. ... like Air France being 17+ degrees nose up at FL370 with the engines at idle ... some things, I just don't get.
Had an FO at a previous airline tweak the rudder trim and the knob stuck due to all the crap that was under it. He left it in position as the airplane's trim slowly ran towards the stop. Even with the knob stuck it was no big deal to control the jet, get the knob un stuck and re-trimmed.
