Since the 737 MAX has been grounded, I don't think that needs to be a consideration.

  ...today... but in the future.

    In the future, the 737 MAX will only permitted to resume passenger flights once the safety issue on the plane has been fixed. The 737 MAX is still likely to become one of the most common planes in the world for many years to come, as it's predecessors in the 737 line have been. If you are planning to permanently refuse to fly on the 737 MAX because of this incident, you may wish to be aware of the safety records of... well, every other plane: Older 737s, well, the predecessors of the 737 MAX have had their share of losses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_Boeing_737#737_Next_Generation_(737-600/-700/-800/-900)_aircraft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incident... (Scroll up from there to see how many losses took place on even older models as well.) And if you're thinking Airbus is going to be your savior here, there's a pretty solid list here too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_the_Airbus_A320_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incident... (Yes, it's much shorter, but the A320 series is a twenty year newer line.)

      Does not matter people will still want to avoid 737 Max8. You should just respect that and move on.

        But the reality is, particularly once these issues are addressed, the 737 MAX 8 is arguably the safer aircraft. While I recognize that people will base their actions on recent media rather than logic, we as the tech community shouldn't be helping them make bad decisions.
