Ask HN: Would you fly on a Boeing 737 Max?
All emotions and anger at Boeing aside, logically would you feel safe flying on a 737 MAX? I'm not asking who's at fault, long-term vision on the company, or anything like that.
Often after such serious public issues it could be said that now is the best time to fly on them since everyone is so aware (pilots, customers, government regulators, etc). Such as flying immediately post 9/11.
I have some upcoming flights and noticed a few are on the 737 MAX and just wanted to get you opinions on flying on one.
- Bluestein 6y agoNo, were it the only plane in the sky.-
- pinewurst 6y agoI don't want to, but there will soon be little if any choice (other than driving). The main carriers serving my city have bought heavily into MAX so that'll be the air service.
- CrankyBear 6y agoIn normal times, I fly over a 100-thousand miles a year. At no time will I knowingly fly on a 737 Max.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI have a friend who's a commercial pilot, not on 737s. He would. And I trust his judgment on such things.
- arthurcolle 6y agoCertainly not
- Daho0n 6y agoNo. If nothing else then to vote with my wallet.
- marssaxman 6y agoI will certainly try to avoid it.
- simonblack 6y agoI'd wait for evidence of no problems over at least 12 months of regular passenger flights before I'd trust that plane again.
