There were nine fatalities and a total of 117 injuries, 11 of them serious.[50](p29,178–180) Five of the deceased victims were Turkish citizens, including the pilot, the co-pilot, a trainee pilot and one member of the cabin crew.[52][53][54][55] Four were Americans, of whom three have been identified as Boeing employees stationed in Ankara and working on an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) program for the Turkish military.[7][16][48][56][57]
The plane carried 53 passengers from the Netherlands, 51 from Turkey, seven from the United States, three from the United Kingdom, one each from Germany, Bulgaria, and Italy, and one from either Thailand[58][59] or Taiwan.[56][57][60]

I had forgotten the exact details , but not the crash which exposed some very bad crew responses. But my point was that even major crashes are quickly forgotten and I proved that by not recalling the details. We have short memories.

Sad to see pilots lose their jobs due to the 737 MAX debacle, eventually when the plane flies again airlines will still have to deal with passengers who would rather book their flight on a different plane due to the bad reputation it has earned, in the end it could have a fate similar to the DC-10.

Regarding the issue about keeping the guys on and reclaiming from Boeing - cash flow may be an issue, given that Boeing are hiring a very expensive team of defense lawyers (from the other thread) it may be a long time before any compensation is paid - if at all. But if cash flow turns negative airlines lives are measure in weeks. Doesn't make it right, business is harsh.
When, and not if, the MAX flies again I am sure there will be a rebranding, MAX is too catchy a name. Had it been the 737-1100 or something similar it would have been forgotten. I suspect MAX has now entered the consciousness of the flying masses. Indeed, it doesn't help that Max is often associated with Mad thanks to a certain film and that's how I see it referred to on some travel/leisure forums. Something anodyne will be the order of the day.
