Nice cover forgetting to mention that the manual trim wouldn't move at all - at which point what can you do? Nose is trimmed basically full down, and in a battle between stab and elevator, the stab always wins.
Like it or not Boeing built a POS with the max. A plane with "surprise lawn dart mode" which gives you ten seconds to recover or die.
And how did they allow their trim to move full nose down? It's not like it was happening blindly to them.
Lets face it, right after takeoff when the AOA sheared to an unrealistic nose high position due to a bird strike, the CA stick shaker going off, the CA asked THREE TIMES for the AP to be engaged. With mismatched AOAs, mismatched airspeeds, and a stick shaker going off.
Once he asked for the AP to be on 3 times, you knew the kind of CA you have (a button pusher). Everyone on this plane was doomed from that moment forward. You didn't have an aviator in that seat. You had a routine, scripted robot who was reverting to "Autopilot engage!"
