Boeing 737 Max given approval to fly again by US regulators

Booking through Expedia you can see what the plane is when you're comparing flights, i assume its the same for other comparison sites
Sure, when an accident happens again they will go "Ooops, my bad. No biggie right? Cool brehs?"
They should have stopped and scrapped the whole 737 Max planes and create a new and much safer plane
Is there anything fundamentally wrong with the plane? It seems like the issues were primarily sensor/software based so wouldn't require a full restart of the project. The only justification for that would be reputational (and a rebrand will achieve the same).
The main issue is the FAA/Boeing relationship and revolving door that exists between them. That relationship and the ridiculous amount of self regulation the FAA allowed are the problem, not the entire plane.
I would strongly recommend episodes of The Daily that focus on this for anyone interested.
So going back to screening any future flights I take to make sure I'm not riding on a 737 Max. Great. Love it.
Yeah I'll reiterate: I'm good, thanks.
No way in hell am I flying on one of these death traps.
I suppose it varies from airline to airline, but airlines that allow you to choose your seat probably show you a map of the aircraft's seating layout and indicate the plane model.
Can't the FAA stop fucking this up? How hard is to do their jobs without acepting interference? I hope other regulators stop accepting their certifications. If anything, this has proven they aren't really credible.
I'm definitively not getting on one of this death traps.

I'll just stick to Delta which didn't buy any of these things thanks, The Max only exists because the Neo was eating their fucking lunch and they quick launch a faulty design.
Sorry, there is too much information out there that this is a design flaw relying on a computer controller to compensate for. Fuck that noise.

Hyundai and Kia lol obviously not the same level of incompetence
This is the problem with these big companies. No one is going to prison when they get hundreds of people killed.
Era...I'm going out of my way of avoiding to ever fly with a Max (8?) again, how easy (if at all) is it for Boeing to rebrand the model to try to fool the general populace?
I mean they actually can't these days, I remember when the planes issues first came to light that articles mentioned that the FAA hasn't done it's job correctly and independently for a long time, due to their allowance to have a set up were basically the FAA checks and tests are being done by people involved in the plane manufacturing company too, something along the lines of them basically being so watered down in effect that meant that Boeing basically was testing and approving their own planes and the FAA went along with it. America really needs to stop this soft touch regulation shit, I said it before, but I won't ever trust the usa's word on anything alone, if they have the same approval from other countries sure it's easier to believe but america is such a corrupt country that allows capitalism to run rampant and rarely kept in check that their word on regulation tests etc is worth literally jack shit.
Counting down to the next accident involving one of these, or another report about flaws being covered up in the interest of profits. Never flying on one of these - prefer not to pay for hours of anxiousness in a metal tube thanks.
