Cockpit voice recorder of doomed Lion Air jet depicts pilots' frantic search for fix
The pilots of a doomed Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX scoured a handbook as they struggled to understand why the jet was lurching downwards, but ran out of time before it hit the water, three people with knowledge of the cockpit voice recorder contents said.

It seems to me that skipping those expensive simulator hours was the critical error.
Yes, MCAS gets the blame but at the end of the day it was a basic trim malfunction.
1. Problem should not have happened.
2. Problems do happen.
3. Unqualified crew.
Lack of understanding leads to panic. Panic leads to fixation which leads to being overwhelmed.

He has a great point but calling others fools is immature and childless and will not go well with fellow posters.
Don't be afraid to fly the airplane. Turn the MCAS off and LEAVE IT OFF.
the only way to turn it off is to pull the breaker. Behind you on the wall. Finding it might be a challenge if you don’t know its there since no one told you.
Also. There has been damn little information on how the system operates other than the highest level and contradictory information.

"the only way to turn it off is to pull the breaker" Totally untrue. Three different switches, any one of them would do it not to mention the 4th way, the breaker. The problem, as I see it, is everyone being "dumbed-down" and depending on computerized, read AI, systems instead of knowing and flying the airplane.
See my comment above.
The three alternatives you mention are just electronic disconnection of the system. Which did not work. The ONLY WAY to totally turn the system off is to pull the breaker.
Maybe then you can take out the nose down trim. Maybe.

What do you mean they din not work - they never even tried those fixes. This from the box.
