Yep. You cannot deny that Boeing is huge and basically a necessity on many levels. They will clean up their act, which is prudent, but this will all be behind us soon.

    This is how I felt about Boeing the first couple times but at this point my trust is shattered. Can’t say I’ll ever fly on one again tbh.

    Yep. I flew on a Max right before they were grounded the first time after all those people died, and had just begun to trust them again when this all happened. I changed my upcoming flight to Airbus even though it was more expensive because they were going to use a Max. As an extra, I ended up on the largest passenger jet in service, which is pretty cool.
