We know that something went horribly wrong on both the Lion Air flight, and the Ethiopian one.
We know that whatever went wrong, went wrong in the very same phase of flight.
We now that in both cases the pilots were unable to cope with whatever went wrong.
Now without indulging in the sophistry of whether or not that makes the aircraft unsafe, or makes the operation of the aircraft safe only by crew with a very specific skill set ..... it seems prudent to avoid flying the machines until there is clarity.
Yesterday i was flying Malindo, an airline owned by Lion Air group. i checked the aircraft type and I'd have had no problem switching carriers if it had been a MAX.
