You got to gamble a little? If you have a large life insurance policy, family may get a good payoff.

I am also looking at one year before I go on that sucker. I am not concerned so much about the software itself, but more about how the plane flies without a more robust MCAS as originally designed. Will there be more difficult to control nose up problems without MCAS ? Is Boeing switching one type of problem for another ? I think we will definitely know about one year after that sucker gets into the air.

I would like to see a lot of in flight testing with MCAS fully disabled.
