.I was surprised of their reactions, as quite a few of the guests in that dinner said they will not fly a Max and some said just booked their forthcoming holidays on a specific airline that they are sure does not has Max . I wonder if this will disappear soon when ticket prices are again going to be the deciding factor.
Not seen much discussion yet on this , although I suspect airlines have some indication via their booking systems .
They might have to discount them for a while but people will go where the tickets are the cheapest, people still fly garauda even at height of their bad rep. 6 to 12 months people will have not so much forgotten but a cheap airfare will minimise any concern they have over the max
