Given the Max 8 debacle [0], I'd agree we don't seem to have many great rules around this.

The difference in this case is that when the Max-8s crashed they were no longer airworthy and were not re-flown.

None of the crashed 737 MAX-8s were ever re-flown. This is a conversation about re-flying air frames that have been involved in fatalities. Air frames here means the planes, not the model. The 737 Max-8 is a cautionary tale about a lot of things, but re-flying crashed airframes is not one of the lessons.

You are right - my mistake.
