.

ABC's 20/20 had a special program on the issues around the Boeing 737Max airplane - the 2 international fatal crashes 2 years ago, the investigations, Boeing Corp failures, impact on families, and possible internal Boeing Design coverups and prosecution. FAA just re-certified the 737MAX to fly again.

Oct. 29, 2018 Lion Air flight crashes, killing 189 people

March 10, 2019 Ethiopian Airlines jet crashes, killing 157 people


1. Little doubt, with uncovered evidence, that (IMO) Boeing is responsible and that some Boeing execs should be personally prosecuted. Internal Boeing design data on the 737Max uncovered that Engineers estimated about 13 fatal crashes for the 737MAX over its lifetime. (OMG - and STILL built it with these known problems).

2. I am an "America First" person, and it would be devastating if Boeing goes Chapter 11, or worse. The 737MAX is critical to Boeing's future. AirBus would increase their worldwide lead in airframe mfr.

Boeing and FAA is betting that the MAX re-designs will correct the issues.

Would YOU or YOUR FAMILY go into a 737MAX for a flight?

It's like using an airport that has recently been attacked by terrorists - probably the safest airport in the World for the next month or so, but many people will avoid using it (making it even safer for me).

Some day when we are comfortable traveling again would do so as long as there were no more incidents between now and than

For years I was transported during the war in Laos especially in the early years in C-47 ‘s flown some times by drunken pilots of different nationalities using dead reckoning when the beacons went out in mountains which was most of the time . I’LL FLY IN ANYTHING

Apples vs oranges, cable controls vs undertrained computer pilots.

I would even extend that to most European carriers. Just no third world carriers with third world pilots and third world maintenance practices.

No way , not even if free. Not with a vaccine, which I may not take until proved really effective. Double Jeopardy. Get the Virus then die or just die in a plane crash. I value my life.
