Do you see lots of pilots or aviation experts saying the opposite? Are there Max pilots that have come out and said "I'm done flying that thing"?

I argued that it is untrue that aviation experts and pilots now consider it to be much safer than other models as a result of the scrutiny. You asked if any of those people have publicly refused to fly it, presumably because they think it's a deathtrap.

That isn't a response to my actual position, or something I expected to happen.

How many airline pilots are in a position to publically say that and still keep their jobs?

You can speak out anonymously in media interviews. Ryanair pilots do this frequnetly when it comes to unions/working environment...
