RE: Engineering Ethics - Lessons of the Past are Forgotten.
The problem with that however is that the plane will no longer fly with the typical characteristics of previous 737s, so what will happen if pilots lose control as a result? Remember, they're trained on typical 737s, then potentially fly a plane with differing flight characteristics. MCAS is supposed to be there to prevent the plane being classified differently and thus requiring different (and expensive) pilot re-training.

Yeah, 99.99% would probably be fine. But I imagine this could then re-surface in a few years time if faulty MCAS and pilot error combines to down a flight...
