What do you 121 guys think of the hype around pressure to ground 737MAX (8's or the entire line)... members of Congress are calling for action. Flying public calling carriers and asking not to be booked on a 737MAX, etc. Bullshit?

And we have a similar scenario in yet another airline of a developing country....
When we had discussed the Lion Air mishap in another thread,
The problem was caused by faulty maintenance by Lion Air. They installed a new AOA vane for the Captain side and failed to calibrate it.
Every U.S. pilot that flies or has flown a 737 has said the first thing they would have done is follow the memory item for run away trim and hit the trim cutoff switches. Problem solved. I’ve never heard of anyone trying to correct an uncommanded trim input by using the trim switch. There would not have been a crash with a U.S. air carrier.
