> Even if it is safe now, it just is scary to even think that I am in the air on a model that has crashed twice within months killing 100s of people each time. Does anyone know which other airlines are flying this model ?

There's a simple way to make it so you don't have to worry about this.

There's a documentary TV series that is available in much of the world. It's called Mayday in Canada where it is produced, but the name gets changed in some other regions and on some channels to Air Crash Investigations, Air Disasters, or Air Emergency.

Find it and binge watch all 200+ episodes over the course of a month or two.

When you are done you will either be fine with the 737 Max 8 or you will have given up altogether on flying on a commercial passenger service. Either way, problem solved!

Meh, I've watched most of the episodes and civilian aviation has advanced a lot. It actually reassures me. But then Boeing shat the bed with terrible things you'd expect of Soviet-era design by forced impossible objectives like the Tu-144 instead of a modern airliner. It's pretty much a Boeing and US ( the FAA shat the bed as well) problem.

Why would it make me feel better?

I mean, I've watched almost every episode of that show but if there are known or covered up design flaws, I'm still scared.
