For whatever reason, in both crashes it has had issues maintaining a stable altitude around 5-10 minutes after takeoff.

If it really were nothing to worry about, half of them wouldn't be grounded by now with more being announced every day.
Apologies, I am not trying to be obtuse. Just giving my opinion as I guess we all are on here. My own feeling is that if I had a flight on a MAX coming up I wouldn't seek to change it, but I respect others think differently which is of course perfectly fine

I think when we get some information on the latest incident that will serve to provide a clearer picture of whether there is a problem, or whether this is just an unlucky coincidence.
