Folks - no big deal - but, just to clarify... the question is solely regarding flying in the Boeing 737MAX. Not COVID, not general air travel.

Personally, I would - if that's the airframe on the day/route/airline I booked.
FAA and Boeing absolutely know - a crash on the MAX, and FAA would be under serious suspicion, and Boeing would be close-to-fatal.

I am not an aircraft engineer by any means, but Boeing's (unbelievably STUPID) decision to include a single point of failure (only one AOA sensor as sole input activating the MCAS system), MCAS coverup, and Boeing's decision to not require pilot training.
