My point with the original comment is that flight pricing today shows that people do know and care to avoid Boeing. The market value of a 737-MAX-9 flight is about 1/3 of what a flight on any other airplane is, and even at that price they couldn't fill the plane. The scheduling was relatively convenient too, and my leg out (on Air Canada) was also a 737-MAX-9 that was discounted by about 2/3. That shows that consumers actually are actively avoiding the aircraft and factoring it into their purchasing decisions. And TBH, if pricing were equal there's no way you could get me to fly on a 737-MAX. My thesis is just that everybody else is valuing the risk much higher than it is, and that 737-MAXes have likely had every bolt combed over at this point, and the systemic issues found indicate that really it's every plane made in the last 25 years that is risky.
