That sounds very wrong.

According to https://randy.newairplane.com/2018/05/22/737-max-a-year-of-s... the Max had only made 41k flights total in May 2018, six months before the first crash.

Yes, I think you are right, it is much lower than 500K, I misread the wiki page which stated it had 500K flights at the time groundings started and assumed there weren't a significant number of flights between the first crash and groundings.

I'm still not sure I follow. How many flights do you think the MAX has now? I'd guess around 100k but the wiki says around 600k and the difference seems important.
