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.
And; What every pax, etc.particularly those wishing to peddle anti Boeing propaganda need to ask themselves is:

Have they checked to see if their motor vehicle is subject to any recalls and if so. have they ensured they have done something about it?
Do they actually have their vehicle regularly serviced according to the manufactures laid down procedures by an approved manufacturers service organisation?
Do the drive their vehicle exactly a laid down by the manufacturer?
Do they fully obey the laws and rules of the road?

When booking an airline ticket is price the primary consideration?
Do they check the world airline accident and incident statistics of airlines chosen to fly with prior to purchasing their ticket?
Does the choice of airline include the airlines accident/incident history?

How do they know whether the quality of the airline training or quality of it's pilots is of a continuous world high standard?

Are they able to fully identify which aircraft they have flown in or will fly in?
What will they do if the airline changes the aircraft type after booking or prior to boarding? And will they know what type has been substituted?

Many more questions should be asked however, if the SLF and others promoting anti Boeing propaganda cannot at least answer all of the above perhaps they require a substantial rethink of their personal safety!
