I expect that the MCAS will eventually be fixed.
What worries me is the series of newspaper articles about a corrupted safety culture at Boeing, e.g. about the Dreamliner and how QC were finding forgotten parts and wrenches in the airframe. Commercial pressures are always at odds with safety, but I had the impression that aircraft manufacturers had this under control.
And the scary part is if this could happen in the US, other manufacturers aren't necessarily better, but they haven't fucked up so badly as Boeing (yet?). It's shaken my faith in faith in the idea of air safety engineering, which was always seen as shining example of safety engineering - it might be that the systems have become too complex to be managed safely.
