There are two FCC’s and two MCAS. Two sensors, one feeding each system.

Activation of the MCAS is essentially the same response as runaway trim which is covered in the manual and training.

Somewhere along the line emphasis on trim has been lost?

Perhaps it has at some airlines. Still the Runaway trim on the 737 Max was caused by a fly by wire system that was actively trying to fight the pilots.

I read somewhere that a pilot said it was similar to recovering from runaway trim on a 727 which was a common simulator exercise.
