In fairness, it is not Boeing’s fault that this is the experience flying the MAX with AC. AC chose to have cramped seating and lavs in favour of cramming more self loading cargo in. This raises an important question: at what point will passengers have enough of such optimizations? People were not upset when AC removed catering and checked bags from Domestic Y, nor when they introduced Economy Basic and started nickel and dining for everything. Perhaps the MAX will be that breaking point: an airframe with a checkered safety record and a passenger experience amongst the worst of the AC fleet.
