I have over 10,000 hours flying the B737. I would fly on a Max in a heartbeat. I would let my family fly on a Max in a heartbeat.
What has been lost in the billions of words that have been written since the Max accidents is that you need 3 simultaneous events;
1. An angle of attack sensor failure
2. An inappropriate ( I’m being sensitive here) response by the flight crew.
3. Flight crew allowing the scenario to develop beyond the point where it was recoverable.
Since the events , every B737 pilot on the planet has been briefed on the failure mode and the correct response.
Most will , if they work for a reputable carrier , have already conducted simulator training.
In short , it won’t happen again.
Whats way more important is choosing which carrier you fly on.
Boeing is in a world of pain but the anxiety that prompts the posters question is panic , pure and simple.
Whether or not the Max is recoverable is debatable . But hysteria has taken over. Very sad.
