> It's hard to train for something that doesn't exist according to Boeing

From the article:

> The so-called dead-head pilot on the earlier flight from Bali to Jakarta told the crew to cut power to the motor driving the nose down, according to the people familiar, part of a checklist that all pilots are required to memorize.

Clearly only one of the pilots memorized the checklist, but they were all required to do so. Presumably the pilots who crashed the plane the next day didn't memorize it either.




Clearly only one of the pilots memorized the checklist

I've already posted the checklist. If you've memorized the checklist you'd know that it says to stop if the trimming stops once you hit the push buttons on the yoke. MCAS stops trimming when you manually input opposite trim (and you can see this on the black box graphs from the preliminary report).
