All the other Boeing plane models are quite flight proven.

And also, airlines can switch planes at any time, you won't find out for sure what plane you are taking until you sit on it.

Unlikely an airline that doesn’t own or lease a max will swap one in.

Sadly the majority of people will choose the cheapest result and voting with your wallet doesn’t work. Which is why we need regulation and can’t leave things to the free market, despite what the libertarians say.

Sure, book an airline that doesn't have MAXes in their fleet. Only to find out that their partner airline do in fact.

Until they install a half-assed update coded by some underpaid Indian freelancer.
