Yes, this is how it should have operated from the beginning. MCAS was flawed when the MAX was first put into operation. Personally, I feel that the MCAS system is "airworthy" now. But that is just MCAS...What is more concerning to me is the quality issues that Boeing has for all aspects of their aircraft. To be clear, this is not specific to the MAX, this is any aircraft that Boeing has pushed out their doors in the past 10 years or so. The foundation for Aviation Safety has a an excellent podcast that goes over the numerous quality issues Boeing has that still exist to this day. https://www.foundationforaviationsafety.org

Boeing used to be a great company that prioritized safety over everything else. (If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going) The "merger" with McDonnell Douglas was the end of that version of Boeing. IMHO, the Boeing 777 was the last great airplane Boeing built. That plane would not be made in the Boeing of today because the initial investment was so high.
