Runaway trim checklist doesn't call for a power reduction. A power reduction for transport category airplanes always causes a nose drop, a requirement of certification . Attitude for ET 302 was already too low, further altitude loss isn't acceptable. Manual trim was jammed.
20+ degree down angle inside of three seconds. The negative G sent them to the roof. I'm a certified fight instructor, and I've never experienced negative G.
MCAS killed them.

No, but overspeed does. > A power reduction for transport category airplanes always causes a nose drop a requirement of certification Please cite. If you point to 25.173/25.175, note that it refers to trim speeds and return to trim speed, not power. The plane was climbing before crossing Vmo / power could be reduced to maintain Vmo and the current climb rate. > I'm a certified fight instructor, and I've never experienced negative G. What? You've earned a spin endorsement, then. You've experienced the little negative G (in most planes) as you tip and enter the incipient spin. It's fun. The first time I did it I said "oh shit" and let go of the yoke to grab my seat. :P Also kinda alarms me that if you're an instructor you've never pushed a little negative.
