Seriously, a MCAS indicator light (if MCAS is actively issuing commands), a big red button below it called "Disable MCAS" , and a MCAS disabled light (so pilots actually remember when it is disabled) should be more than enough to prevent this.

Besides adding the AoA disagree light AND having MCAS use a triple AoA sensor vote to determine the AoA angle.

I think they're not gonna do that because they'd lose the 737 type.

Until they are forced to. I hope that the FAA doesn't get a say here and other agencies will retract the type rating.
