There were also a lot of MCAS near misses.

I only heard of one. I'm interested in others, if you have references.

I just remember that it happened commonly enough to US pilots. American pilots always recovered quickly enough that it didn't make the news before the fatal crashes.

Thank you, but it's behind a paywall. I did find this:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-c...

which has detailed information, but I don't trust the NYT. The article also erroneously reports that the MCAS trim rate is twice the speed of manual trim. The trim rate for both is 0.27 degrees per second.
