Id feel mostly vindicated (which is worse - no one likes that guy), but also reassured. Reassured that I'm not crazy! The decision OP took might have been extreme and costly (time wise and effort mostly). People around him might have lightly whispered to him to be reasonable, or "trust the experts". This wears on you eventually and you start to doubt your own reasonableness. Boeing starts leaving bolts unfastened and all of a sudden you remember the almost weekly stream of pre-pandemic HN articles with new material on Boeing's fall from excellence. Boeing's marketing dept. was capitalizing that everyone had forgotten about the MAX. The few of us who remembered it maybe weirdos, but we're nut nuts!
