Good example. but kinda painful to watch. LoL

Silence the bell, talk to each other, not over each other, and use the trim handle (technique). Didn't know to laugh or what. But then they are young'ins, and we all had to learn sometime.

Also am not seeing anywhere in the preliminary report that the FDR indicates they attempted to engage any of the "Instrument Transfer" switches. I suspect that may have or could have corrected the problem. However . . . With an abnormal AOA left side and abnormal Airspeed right side, would have to see how that works out. But at least try. These boys screwed the pooch on this one.

More importantly, whispers on the street is lack of training (Runaway Stab Trim) which goes to the issue of why the flight crew did not or could not properly identify the abnormal.

Will not matter. Boeing will take the blame and the deep pocket rule will be exercised.

Would have been darn hard to fly manually with the two AOA disagreeing by 20 degrees and a significant difference in airspeed left vs right. Could an experienced and well-trained crew fly it with that much disagreement in the two readings? It’s reminiscent of the Air France flight from Brazil with the frozen pitot tubes.
