This pilot is a scapegoat!
No, you cannot "switch off" MCAS. To recover requires disabling Pitch Trim. Rather a drastic step, and not in any way intuitive, imo.
Once a "correction" is accomplished with elevator, the fatal dance is begun. Picking a trim fight with the HS is end of....

if both the problem and the fix are the same as it is for a runaway stabilizer, how is following the runaway stabilizer procedure not intuitive?
It should be intuitive,but the way it presents is as a pusher without the shaker first.... it is in that way that an unaware pilot is MISLED...
The shaker on the side with the bad aoa sensor was going nuts for the duration of both crash flights. As a matter of fact, in Lion Air's case it was going nuts for the duration of the flight before as well.
By the way, the Autotrim (MCAS) is interrmittent, disguising itself as a transient "problem" to the MCAS unaware pilots....
MCAS might be intermittent, but whatever is causing it to activate is not (whether based on valid data or not). It's a symptom, not a cause.
And I know we've managed to allow this notion of the "unaware pilot" to become normalized over the past couple years, but repetition isn't the same thing as reality.
