Fortunately, Boeing's fix will just disable MCAS in several new situations and pilots will be left to figure out how to fly the finicky planes on short notice.

  The scenarios where it is disabled without a sensor failure are also outside the flight regimes where MCAS should be activating. If there is a sensor failure, the aircraft legally should not be dispatched (not meeting MEL), so its on the airline to make sure they don't push pilots into bad situations.

    If the sensors are more than 5.5 degrees in disagreement, MCAS is disabled. This could obviously happen after takeoff.

      If the sensors are that far in disagreement, its a sensor failure or something worse.
