I made a post about three months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19578201) that my main fear with the 737 Max was that they rushed the plane into production and more mistakes were made than with just the MCAS system. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. I doubt Boeing will ever convince me that enough "patches" have been made to make the plane safe to fly on.

If after all of this the much more knowledgeable pilots are willing to get on the thing and fly it, I'd be comfortable getting in the back.

Why bother given how it easy it is just to chose another itinerary with a different type of plane? It's not like there's only one itinerary/plane type per route or anything.

Or, the pilots will fly it because they want to keep their jobs.

Not all pilots have the choice.
