FYI - MCAS doesn’t operate when the autopilot is engaged.

On another note - Runaway stabilizer as a result of MCAS issues or runaway that’s always been a potential failure on every 737 ever produced is still basically...... runaway stabilizer.

Used to be a memory item at brand X when I flew them there. Still is on my current 777 and probably every other Boeing out there. Handle the problem, fly the aircraft, turn off the cutout switches and land the broken aircraft. 8000 hours? One can probably do that, no problem. 200? Might be asking a lot.
