Just a small correction

The plane certified March 2017 and first commercial flight was in May 22 2017 and the first crash was 17 months later in October 2018 and grounded in March 2019. Never certified and flew commercially anything like 3 years. this is a myth I see regularly stated.

I have no doubt it will be back in the air again, when may be a question, and the vast majority of people will have no idea nor decide what they are flying on. Another serious incident though and that may change. Personally I am very choosey on airlines and type I use but I think this will be so vetted it will be safest 737 ever
