In fact the ALPA rep they were talking to said in reference to the '250 hour pilot' about the 2nd event, "The kid did it right", and showed him flipping the cutout switches. They make specific reference to the 2nd event that occurred after the revised procedure from Boeing was published. They crew followed that procedure and still lost control of the A/C.
They left out the part where the Ethiopian crew turn the Stab Cutout switches back on after being unable to manually trim...because the airplane was going too fast because they never pulled the power back from the 94% takeoff thrust setting! Yeah, the did PART of it right...until the forgot to fly the airplane and turn the system back on. Minor details...
