In fact I think I'll wait until they have been in service for a few 10's of thousands of hours before any of my family set foot on one.
Hi low n slow
one of the great things about this forum is that we get the full spectrum of opinion.i would have flown on a 737 Max as a passenger , even unmodified post ET , with no changes to the plane, provided that the training as per the FAA AD had taken place. Ie that a 2 hour sim ride would cover loss of airspeed and MCAS induced runaway stab. So that there would be no doubt about the vexed issue of “ can the pilot manage such a scenario”. If he can show us he can, then I would have been happy. Meantime I would expect Boeing to fix the daft design asap.
Modified, even better. No qualms at all.
Ill be booking a flight on the first one back in service if it’s in Europe. My guess is it will be Ireland or UK.
