I’ll argue that the max is forever tainted, I won’t fly one anytime soon after they issue an inevitable fix. Not worth the risk in my opinion. I’d bet the press hyping this up (which I agree with for the record) will impact the perception of all fliers. Only question being whether avg joe knows they are on a max or not
Based on my reading on this issue, it seems like there was a mismatch between the automated systems and pilot training. It seems like it can be fixed. Boeing has too much on the line to mess it up at this point, as does the FAA. I’m guessing once the planes are allowed to fly again, they will be even safer than normal. It’s just sad that Boeing was forced into this
