No, I will not fly the 737 MAX because using the MCAS to try to "correct" a bad aerodynamic design is no way to go and I believe using a software "fix" makes it even worse. When you have a bad aerodynamic design the planes should be scrapped, but here they are with a completely new fleet of planes with this design so they are doing anything they can think of to avoid scrapping the planes. It was not safe and is still not safe. It has nothing to do with pilot training, it is all about a very poorly designed plane. The problem is when you buy a ticket for a flight on a certain plane (non-MAX) and you get to the airport, they can put you on a MAX plane at the last minute. So I will be trying to fly other airlines like Delta which have no MAX planes in their fleet. Both Southwest and American have MAX planes.
I thought I read where they were selling the MAX planes to countries in Europe but I guess that fell through.
