But virtually no one really is avoiding it over that, they're avoiding because of the multitude of various faults and issue over the entire MAX line that makes it highly unlikely that there isn't something else coming.
- kube-system 3y agoThis submission isn't on the front page because of incidents 4-5 years ago. It is on the front page because of the news this week.
- nolok 3y agoI really don't understand what you're getting at. I don't disagree with you. The difference between this website existing for MAX and not for others is the repetition of issues though, to the point that now more people have had enough. When the glass spills, the last drop might be the trigger for the glass finally spilling but it's the accumulation of water that's the issue, not just that one final drop.
- kube-system 3y agoThe bottom line is that I think it is absolutely silly for people to try to make their own judgement about the safety of aircraft they get on based on news stories about different variants of models which have had issues that are already identified. This is a relevant topic for regulators to address, with specificity to the actual offending parts, procedures, and processes in place. Avoiding all MAX variants is a very hamfisted attempt to address a very tiny difference in observed safety. There are regional airlines flying much more sketchy things. Where's "isMyPlaneACessna208BeingFlownByANewPilotInPoorWeather.com"?

- kube-system 3y ago> A singular incident where nobody died would also not be on the front page. Sure it would be. Commercial jetliner incidents are so rare that incidents with zero fatalities are routinely headline stories.
- FredPret 3y agoThis week's problem is merely the latest dot on a terrifying trend line. It's the line that's making the news, and this dot forms that line.
