Will you fly on a 737 MAX when it returns to service?

You're still more likely to die in a car accident. But I guess I still wouldn't take my chances.
I will avoid it at all costs but if I can't and there's no other reasonable option then fuck life we going in.
The DC-10 was grounded in '79 and it eventually went on to have a very good safety record. All planes have different flight characteristics that results in unstable performance under specific conditions. As long as Boeing trains the pilots properly and Engineers don't try to design systems that fight pilot control, I'll have no concerns flying on one.
I think it's just more then training and engineering that is the problem?
Boeing has ordered inspections of its entire fleet of grounded 737 Max planes after it found debris in the fuel tanks of some of the aircraft, in the latest setback for the US plane-maker.

I'd avoid it if I can but I've flown on Air Koryo before so I've probably been on worse anyway.
There is no way it will fly again under that name. Will be rebadged and the masses will be fooled into thinking it's another plane. Probably named 737 10 or something else.
I'm not trusting any new Boeing plane until they move the headquarters back to Seattle.
EDIT: I could be persuaded if the CEO did a stunt like flying on random Maxes around the country with pilots who were not alerted that the CEO would be coming. If they don't do something like this, I can only assume they don't trust their own plane.

Probably yeah. And if I go, then at least my family can sue and hopefully get a giant payday or something.
man, what a shitshow
sam doesn't even mention the debris found in 70% of 737 maxes (resetera thread). their attempts to sanitise this are fascinating and wretched; I read that pamphlet about alleviating customer anxiety and I think it'll do jack-shit in a lot of cases. I bet a LOT of people are going to kick up a fuss about this plane once they bring it back. another HUGE point of consideration is the fact that this fiasco tanked carriers' confidence in the FAA, meaning that many if not most non-American airlines will push their own re-certification programmes, delaying this plane's resurrection. it's a monumental fuck-up
