The problem obviously is that the plane is missing the left phalanges.

It would be necessary to rebalance the disgronificator, synchronize the knibbly shafts and reset the stratoboosting trepesio gyros. That’d set ‘er straight.

All of your power speculation has nothing to do with fly by Wire. Whatever happened will be determined after recovery of the Black, (actually orange) box. (actually a cylinder) The Airbus someone mentioned will not allow the pilot to stall the airplane. Cheers. You can call, or not, it whatever you want but a computer is telling the control actuators what to do. Erroneous input data, ie, airspeed indicator could cause a reduction in power at a most critical moment.
IR a brand new Airbus on a demo flight, flown by a senior Air France pilot making a low pass over the airport. The plane pancaked into the trees at the end of the runway. The final outcome was pilot couldn't get the plane to climb.
Air France flight 296, an Airbus 320. A demo flight.
Among several causes, the final report...
The crew applied full power and the pilot attempted to climb. However, the elevators did not respond to the pilot's commands, because the A320's computer system engaged its "alpha protection" mode (meant to prevent the aircraft from entering a stall). Less than five seconds later, the turbines began ingesting leaves and branches as the aircraft skimmed the tops of the trees. The combustion chambers clogged and the engines failed. The aircraft fell to the ground.[4]

IIRC at least one or two Indonesian airlines have been banned from European airspace because of major safety issues.Before blaming Boeing this airline,and the crew,should be checked top to bottom.

Roger that. I confess that, as an ASEL cert holder, my wife and I watch an awful lot of the episodes of "Air Disasters". One of the recurring themes of those outcomes is the problems that arise from pilots being in a cockpit that they think is the same as the airplane they know well, only to have the crash investigators conclude that one key control or instrument/reading doesn't operate that way in the new aircraft. You may also be familiar with the initially horrendous safety record of the Airbus 320. All of its primary flight controls were "interpreted" by the onboard computer, which decided it knew what the pilot
really wanted to do, and pressed on, regardless of the actual flight conditions. All software related to safety of flight must be thoroughly wrung out, with every scenario in the world played out, and that is seriously hard to do. I wonder how many of the Airbus precepts have been incorporated into the Max8.
Stick and rudder, baby, stick and rudder.
