Sully Sullenberger's opinions is that the MCAS failure is not a "normal" trim runaway failure:

> These emergencies did not present as a classic runaway stabilizer problem, but initially as ambiguous unreliable airspeed and altitude situations, masking MCAS.

He bases that opinion on having flown the scenario in a professional full motion simulator (explained in the rest of his letter).

What's your response to that?

Sully isn’t type rated in the airplane in question. An Airbus that he normally flies is much different than a 737NG.
