The 737MAX is not going away. There are about 1400 of them flying and another 6000 orders. Boeing obviously has some serious quality problems that need to get fixed, but since the grounding in 2019, the MAX has done something like 1.5 million flights with no fatalities. This is worth fixing, but it's not dangerous enough to change your travel plans. You're way more likely to die from COVID you caught on the plane than because the plane was unsafe.

They keep having new critical safety issues. :(

That latest one only didn't end up with fatalities due to luck, it could just as easily have gone the other way.

Absolutely. There have been several airline explosive decompressions in the past 50 years. The fatal ones have each had one fatality, even with crazy damage to the plane (look up Aloha 243) If you figure this incident "should" have had one fatality, if you figure 100 passengers per flight, that's a 1/150,000,000 chance of dying. Your odds of death are way worse on the drive to the airport than from this.

k, now calculate the odds for "737 Max series planes" vs the rest, then make your choice. ;)

Those planes have also flown millions of miles without incident. This is a low-frequency statistics game; the signal is presently constrained to the type 9.

Uhhm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Airlines_Flight_611

> Fatalities: 225

> I'd contact your favorite airlines and demand that they retire their MAX planes

This isn't happening. Demand would swell well before price cuts made those planes uneconomical.
