Would you travel on a 737 Max?

As an ex-Avionics engineer (which AOA and MCAS would be part of), I would fly on one, no problem, the issue will have been looked at extremely closely and will have been fixed of course, and I expect Boing have looked into everything related to flight controls, with a fine tooth comb, even more than asked of them. I would be happy I was flying on a newer aircraft with low hours etc.

People should maybe be given the option to travel on one mind, and possibly a heavily subsidised fare (or a load of free drinks onboard), at least for the first couple of years anyway.

Btw
This OP was posted during the denial period though when it wasn’t safe but they said it was. I’ve raised it to highlight the new Netflix doc.

But the original question wasn’t about now but back then when no one knew why.

Yeah, I think I posted on this thread before in 2021, I would have flown on it then, and wouldn't even give it a second thought now.

The second incident shouldn't have happened, but think I recall the crew never reacted to it how they were meant to (or were not trained to), the problem is, having two incidents for the same thing looks horrendous. I think another problem was some of the cheaper arilines didn't select some of the options which would have alerted them to the issue too. I watched the documentary but can't recall the full details.

Boeing should have patched the software when they first learned about it, disgraceful that they didn't.

That was the Boeing story blaming foreign poor trained pilots but the reality was that no pilot was told of MCAS or trained as they didn’t want to offer training as this would delay launch so they hid it from the airlines even. There was no option to buy a better version that was better version that’s the point they hid the system let alone the flaws.

After reviewing the black box data the Ethiopian pilots did exactly what Boeing told them to do to the letter but MCAS made the plane too fast to to brought back once switched off.

I see the 737 Max has been approved to operate in Europe. I've got to be honest, I think I'd find it a bit too much of an **** twitcher.

It seems there are still some real concerns.

Boeing 737 Max cleared to fly in UK and EU after crashes

Regulators say the plane is safe to resume service after two fatal crashes led to its grounding.

Would you be bothered, or would you use another airline who used a different aircraft?
