This whole thing feels like a fudge.

If you can safely disable MCAS after one actuation, why do you need it in the first place?

If it does not meet the certification standard without MCAS, why is it acceptable to turn it off when the certification standard essentially is looking for a benign and predictable control response across the flight envelope?

Have EASA updated their position on the Max?

There was a suggestion they were going to insist on a retrofit to upgrade to the equivalent of three sensors for AOA from two. Which would mean you would not need to turn it off if a sensor failed, since you could vote 2 oo 3 sensors.
