Some previous threads above hint at the answer. Unless we don’t know about some egregious handling issues the FAA and Boeing should about face and decide to turn MCAS off. If there is something more egregious then all bets are off. How to “about face”? I could picture Sully getting in a real airplane and showing the effect of the non linear pull effect and how it would not affect a pilot as, of course, it does not affect the autopilot since MCAS is not active with the autopilot on. How can the FAA and Boeing walk back the tail wagging the dog? Would Sully doing windup turns on TV work?
