I wish that kind of free-market-driven correction were possible, but passengers have no control over which airplanes they fly in. You don't book tickets with Boeing or Airbus; you book tickets with Southwest or Spirit, and even if they tell you the make of the plane you'll be flying, they can change it up at any time without refunding you.
- yholio 6y agoMany european airlines announced a no questions asked refund policy on 737 Max tickets. Even Ryanair who initially rejected the idea, latter made a U-turn under pressure from concerned passengers: https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/ryanair-boeing-737-max-cancel-flight-refund-nervous-flyer-a9375746.html https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/ryanair... The refund would be made at gate level, since the plane allocations are made in the last minute. It's certainly a factor behind the hundreds of MAX orders that were canceled thus far. Fitch lowered it's delivery estimate from 700 to 75 MAX planes for 2020.
