Removing MCAS from the 737 Max is "how to get some confidence back to us all that we as Authorities can sleep at night when that day comes when the MAX returns to service."

An idea which relies in the aerodynamics being "reasonably acceptable" without MCAS.

I think this is the first time I've seen such a positive view of the MAX aerodynamics expressed which doesn't read like a knee-jerk reiteration of an unquestioned
dogma. What a pity that a little of the MAX down-time wasn't spent testing/demonstrating the truth of that position. (Which, if true, wouldn't have even required
B to admit any fault.)
