Some poster's say it was the MCAS, some say it was pilot error, some blame the stabilizer, some say it could have been be avoided if only the pilots did XYZ, some say it was moving the engines up on the wings, some even say it was all these things. Again, bottom line..Why ever get on a plane that "may have one or many" of these potential faults? Proof is in the pudding. Show me 2 or more years of flight time without any serious report able problems and it "may" be prudent to fly on that aircraft!!! Otherwise, why risk your life without solid facts and multi hours of problem free aircraft issues. I then may get on one of these suspect planes.
It took awhile for the Havilland Comet to develop fatal flaw. Bottom line, anytime you step foot on plane ✈️ it could be the beginning of new fatal flaw, now add maintenance complications, cycle stresses, and weather formality it’s risky no matter how you figure it.
