Tui is one. I recently flew with them and had the "surprise" of discovering I was seated on 737 Max. I kept thinking: "Surely they debugged this now!"

They can't debug the airframe change (moved the new big fans forward). That should have triggered a new type certification. Instead we got a software coverup which the regulators OK'd so the airlines would not have to pay for pilot training on a new aircraft type.

I can't even imagine the feeling.
