Would it be possible to completely remove MCAS, and simply train pilots that this version of the plane stalls more easily? Stalls are a known phenomena that all pilots are very competent to manage.

If I understand correctly, no. Once you cross a threshold, it takes less and less force on the controls to move you closer and closer to a stall. That's completely not acceptable, with or without training.

Yes. That works great. There are however two troubles:

1. it would definitely be a different aircraft with different training

2. the more-difficult flight behavior is prohibited for commercial passenger planes
