You mean Garuda Indonesia ? they were nowhere as bad as some other Asian airlines at the time , but this was regional issue with a few months of sporadic coverage. The Max is different since it has worldwide ( rather very bad) continuous coverage since over a year now . And I was surprised to see so many non-aviation people concerned about this. But yes price always is deciding factor in the end, agree, I was just wondering if advance bookings on some Max dependent airlines (e.g. Southwest, TUI, Norwegian etc..) were showing different results for this summer than non Max ones ( e.g Easy jet, Jet Blue, , etc..)
