Both MCAS crashes would have been avoided if the crew correctly executed the memory-item runaway stab trim checklist. (The second crew almost saved it by first correctly executing that checklist, then reversing that corrective action while trying to recover, after which point the flight was lost.) That’s what Boeing was counting on (and was terribly wrong in retrospect).
