Very curious whether the additional Brazilian MCAS training would have helped, given how strange its behavior appears in practice.

Good question. Would be interesting to hear what (if any) additional training pilots there got.

And, yes, the Ethiopian Air pilots apparently did follow the procedures initially, flipping the Stab Trim Cutout switches, but did not manage to recenter the trim manually (via the trim wheel), so apparently re-enabled electric trim, and then let MCAS drive the trim even further down to their doom. :-/
