        Your life is meaningless compared to a companies profits. Rather than scaping a plane that has already killed over 300 people, they want you to trust that these planes are now safe. No way in hell would any rational person step foot on a max 9. Any plane made by them should be worry some as well. Airbus proves more regulations is beneficial to industry

      Yep. You cannot deny that Boeing is huge and basically a necessity on many levels. They will clean up their act, which is prudent, but this will all be behind us soon.

        They will clean up sweep their act under the carpet, which is prudent, but this will all be behind us soon.

        This is how I felt about Boeing the first couple times but at this point my trust is shattered. Can’t say I’ll ever fly on one again tbh.

          Yep. I flew on a Max right before they were grounded the first time after all those people died, and had just begun to trust them again when this all happened. I changed my upcoming flight to Airbus even though it was more expensive because they were going to use a Max. As an extra, I ended up on the largest passenger jet in service, which is pretty cool.

          How do you know the plane model when purchasing a flight?

            It’s listed on the flight website. They need to know and show the model so you can pick seats.
