If you have flown or booked a flight since the 2nd Boeing 737 Max 8 went down, have you checked the plane or changed a flight because it was a Boeing 737 Max 8?
Don't care. Even the most dangerous plane is still safer than the car you rode from your home to the airport.
It's true. Cars experience a much higher rate of deadly crashes per trip than airplanes. Look it up if you don't believe us
I don’t see many people arguing that. I tackled a little over 150k miles in planes last year, and I feel safe flying. Even then when given choices between planes with possibly major issues and those without, guess which I will choose?
I switched out as soon as I could. Not risking my life.
Not sure if you guys read about the first Boeing 737 Max crash, but it sounds like a serious case of airline management and maintenance failure. The plane had already nearly crashed on its penultimate flight
Still not risking it. Even with poor maintenance, flights still function good with extremely low crash rates. What are the chances both major crashes happen to be this particular aircraft.
Agreed. I definitely wouldn't fly on one
Heard Boeing engineering is doing a hack under pressure of timeline. In order to install a larger engine to save fuel, they have to put engine in one part of plane instead of middle, causing one half of plane is heavier than the other half, causing plane easy to skew when flying. In order to fix the hack, they have a program to force the place to dive lower if needed. The bad thing is, in order to hide the hack, they didn’t mention anything on manual......so when the skewing input is wrong, the airplane will dive to the ground directly no matter what pilot do. So Boeing engineering culture is bullshit. I would blame management and sales more than engineers. Sometimes refactoring system is important even though it takes longer time. Engineering oriented culture is important for Boeing
Those of you citing statistics can't distinguish between population/samples and specific cases, can you? You wouldn't drive a car with recall for brake systems, would you?
Very true! 😂 it's so funny to read these comments about how it is ok to fly in a flawed plane vs. perfectly fine cars.
Worst case, family gets a few mil.
Looks like Canada and US are the only one persevering.
Guess why? Southwest would go bankrupt, and so will Boeing, if they admit it. They're buying time and taking chances with people's lives.
^ this. Your life is being put in danger so that people with a lot more money than you keep getting paid.
FAA isnt grounding the Max 8’a because they don’t know the cause? Shouldn’t the right reponse be ground them until they find out it’s not a design or manufacturing issue?

No need to check if you’re booked on Delta - they don’t fly the MAXs and don’t have them on order.
