- JshWright 8y agoYes. This is a very specific failure mode, and given the publicity of this event, it's not going to catch anyone else out. Now, that doesn't mean I didn't double check the aircraft types for some upcoming flights flights...
- capkutay 8y agoYeah I usually only double check airline types for comfort rather than safety. But I think you're right that these heavily publicized events actually create more scrutiny/cautiousness, especially from US airline pilots.
- SteveNuts 8y agoI've got an upcoming flight on a 737-800, is it safe to assume that model isn't affected by this?
- JshWright 8y agoCorrect, the 800 is a "Next Generation" series jet, not a MAX, and so it doesn't have the MCAS that is suspected to be related to this accident.
