MCAS reenabled until aerodynamic failure caused the crash (wind speed prevented elevator from rising). Ultimately, more knowledge in the cockpit would have helped, see previous LA flight where pilot with training knew the correct action to take.

The correct procedure (as stated in the Airworthiness Directive distributed to all MAX crews) is to use the column trim switches to restore normal trim, then use the cutoff switches. They had already used the column trim switches twice to restore normal trim. https://theaircurrent.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/B737-MAX-AD-1107.pdf https://theaircurrent.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/B737-MA...
