And I'll say that I'll happily fly the 737 Max with a first-rate airline, and avoid flying any plane on an airline with a worse safety record than Aeroflot. Bot

And I'll say that I'll happily fly the 737 Max with a first-rate airline, and avoid flying any plane on an airline with a worse safety record than Aeroflot. Both Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines have similar safety records to this century's Aeroflot, whether by incidents/hour, incidents/rotation or incidents/plane. No comparison to the American/Delta/United/BA/KLM/Air France/Lufthansa/etc of the world. (Seriously, if you've had more 'incidents resulting in fatalities' this century than Aeroflot while flying half as many planes... Let's just say that Ethiopian does not meet my standards for a safe airline. And that's only counting 2000-2018) Similarly, I'd like any plane I'm flying in to have a fully qualified pilot AND copilot, and I don't consider 200 hours of total flight experience to be 'fully qualified'.
