Someone did the stats around the max 8. 300 lives lost in 3 years of operation and 400 planes in the sky. It is actually quite dangerous to fly and much more dangerous than driving when you compare by travel time and not distance. In comparison, A320 Neo and 787 have no hull losses and there's more of those planes in the sky than the maxes. 787s have been flying for almost 10 years.
- _ph_ 7y agoBoth losses were caused by the same faulty system, MCAS. I don't understand how can one make predictions about the safety of the plane with a fixed MCAS from the MCAS related crashes.
- tachion 7y agoBecause it's safer thing to do, when people lives are at risk. If it would be having some milk spilled or popcorn burnt, no one would try to make those overly precautious predictions. Also, because the plane has a bad track record, so it brought the scrutiny on itself.
