The ET302 crew retracted the flaps and engaged the autopilot. Either they were completely disregarding the QRH or they understood at some level that the left stick shaker was not an issue. Very challenging to say that they were following anti-stall reccommendations with the throttles when they ignored them with virtually everything else besides trim. No way to know if other pilots would have done differently, and again I think the nationality of the pilots or airline is not really relevant. An Air Canada crew could have done the exact same thing.

And, again, I am not claiming "pilot error" was the cause of ET302. The loss of the AoA sensor (why?), MCAS, probably other systems or hardware issues with the 737 MAX that we don't even know about yet, and the actions of the pilots all contributed in different ways to the crash occurring. In exactly what ways we don't know, the preliminary report tells us a bit but really just raises more questions, and everything else is pure speculation ... especially coming from amateurs like us. We probably won't know more until the final report and/or until the 737 MAX gets recertified and more details come out.
