I find this opinion extremely surprising. We have been told that the only reason Boeing introduced the MCAS is the type could not be certified without it. Now, an official suggests, without any reference to the aircraft behavior, that nothing at all should have been done ... Perhaps he would change his mind after a test flight sans MCAS, as requested by EASA ! Perhaps one has to change that statement. The reason for the introduction of MCAS is, that the MAX could not be certified in the way that Boeing wanted, as the same type as the 737NG.

Considering 14 CFR part 25 maneuvering characteristics requirements, control feel near stall won't be satisfied without MCAS or other mean ....

Yep here it is from Flightglobal FAA takes 737 Max airworthiness certificate issuance from Boeing 27 November, 2019 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: Jon Hemmerdinger Boston www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/faa-takes-737-max-airworthiness-certificate-issuance-462555/The Federal Aviation Administration has taken further control over certification of individual 737 Max aircraft, saying it will not allow Boeing itself to issue the airworthiness certificates that permit specific aircraft to be flown...The FAA adds that its 737 Max work continues.
"The FAA has not completed its review of the 737 Max design changes and associated pilot training," it says. "The agency will not approve the aircraft for return-to-service until it has completed numerous rounds of rigorous testing.". Boeing has said it aims for regulators to lift the grounding before year-end.
Boeing can seemingly never resist the inane, unsupported phrase at the end can they? The press dept. member would probably be sacked if they omitted such things.

Just lobbing in another airline speculation storyline. I suppose it gets them headlines and as the saying goes 'Any news is good news...'. Icelandair expects 737 Max to re-enter service in March 28 November, 2019 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: David Kaminski-Morrow London www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/icelandair-expects-737-max-to-re-enter-service-in-ma-462595/Icelandair is expecting the Boeing 737 Max to return to service in March next year, 12 months after its grounding.

That is again just moving the date back. I would say, that Icelandair is not expecting the MAX to reenter service before March 2020.
