The third-world aircrew had no skills or air sense— incompetent.
Same issue affected a couple US jets.
No big deal, the pilots just toggled off the auto-trim and wrote it up after landing.
Not a safety of flight issue unless you are incompetent.
“Runaway” trim is in the books and something we practiced on various occasions and we did it in-flight.
If you have no skills and no air sense and blindly sit and ride and not fly you are a fool.
Harsh but true.

Maybe Boeing should tell its Third World customers that they’re just not qualified to fly its planes. Of course, if they had mentioned that *before* the crashes, and avoided sales calls to Third World countries, Boeing could have avoided the reputational harm it has suffered, and hundreds of passengers would be alive today.
