If it can alleviate your co-flyer, it is probably the worth mentioning that the system that caused the issues on the MAX is not found on the 737-800, and the system was made for the MAX due to the changes in aerodynamics with the MAX design. So the MCAS factors in the crash are 100% not applicable to the 737-800. The 737 next generation series, that the - 800 belongs to, has one of the lowest, if not the lowest accident ratios of current operated aircraft.
Moreover it appears the ‘fix’ applied to the MAX has fully resolved the issues that caused both incidents.
