Fully agree. All commercial interests are eager (though nervous in their heart of hearts) to get the thing back in the air. (If you fly from Winnipeg to Saskatoon these days, you might find yourself on a wet-leased Oman Air machine.) But what makes them think the travelling Public is going to take kindly to flying the Max? And if, as you say, one crashes for Any reason, all their fears will come roaring back. Boeing faces a long and exceedingly tricky path leading out of the doghouse. Interesting times.
