It is unnerving that as the aircraft descended, for about 2-3 minutes, no distress call from the flight crew was made.
It has a screw jack driven flying tail. The run away stab issue long predates MCAS and the associated issues. I don't think there is a screw jack stab in service without a standing AD against it.
