Hi there Laxman
You are the man who should be taking on these outlandish comments!. Presumably you have the knowledge from having flown the Max to put things into a proper perspective. I have been surprised by the lack of comment from those who actually fly the Max but presumed they were keeping their heads down.
I flew 707s 737 200/400/800 NG and was airtest pilot on them in UK and at Boeing. Not 707 - only a boy then, but did 5000 hours on 707. And I would regard my comments as not unreasonable but yes, there are comments on this forum from persons who don't fly, and I actually find them helpful in that one can see what I don't see - the view of the general public.
In this case, or these two cases, it is apparent that the public as represented by the majority of postings have judged the Max as a death trap. I don't think so. But I could be wrong and it would be great to hear from someone who has been trained to fly them.
Happy flying
Y
