> Exactly, the trim switches override the MCAS. That's why you use the trim switches to set it back to normal, then hit the cutoff switches.

On the 737 Max there is no way to disable the MCAS without also disabling the electric trim.

Sigh. With the electric trim enabled, the trim switches will override any MCAS commands. This is why, again:

1. trim to normal with the electric trim switches

2. cut off the stabilizer trim

Do it in that order. Doing step 2 before step 1 won't work.
