[USALiberal]

2. YES, Safest time in history for air travel. Safer than drive to airport. Nt

[genxlib]

7. That is what I was thinking

Life is too short to worry about dangers that statistically insignificant.

[OliverQ]

9. You can survive a car crash.

It's extremely unlikely to survive a plane crash.

[USALiberal]

18. One USA death in the last 10 years! Nt

[Initech]

21. I heard a guy on TV say that once!

[dalton99a]

3. The Boeing board of directors should be on the inaugural flight

to show their vote of confidence

[2naSalit]

4. +1

[maxsolomon]

with a well-trained pilot at the controls.

5. I flew on a new 737 MAX on its second commercial flight leg.

SWA made a big deal about us being able to fly on a brand new plane! A few of us in line joked we hoped we would not be the "last" to fly on it...little did we know the problems.

Aside from the lighting and fact that the seat configuration made my halfway down the plane aisle have no usable window for seeing out, it was not that different of an experience. Still no USB outlets, etc.

I would fly on it again...but I would not want to be on the first (or the last) flight.

6. More likely I'll be flying with the wings of angels. eom

[jberryhill]

8. Are the wings of angels FAA certified?

[Ron Green]

10. We should try to fly much less often

on any type of aircraft.

[USALiberal]

19. Why?

[maxsolomon]

23. It's terrible for the planet

anthropogenic climate change.

[USALiberal]

26. So is internet usage, and Air conditioning, and hot water, and.....

[maxsolomon]

27. "Just 12 percent of Americans take two-thirds of all flights"

I'm not making this shit up. Our firm has a program to offset the carbon impact of our business flights.

[redqueen]

20. +1

[Vogon_Glory]

11. After enough people put in enough flight time

Maybe then I’ll feel safe enough to fly on one.

[Renew Deal]

14. Uh huh

[Vogon_Glory]

16. Yup, those intrepid travelers and

a whole lot of FedEx and UPS packages.

[Renew Deal]

12. I don't track models of planes before flying

So I'll get on whatever shows up.

[Blue_Tires]

13. Sure, why wouldn't I?

With all the attention on them you know the FAA and Boeing aren't giving the green light without it being 100% flawless perfection...

I mean, their literal existences as entities are at stake here.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

15. "the FAA and Boeing",

are in bed together, covering up problems that cause crashes.

[Blue_Tires]

17. And it's in their mutual interest to get this one right, is it not?

[maxsolomon]

24. Long, but a deep dive into the causes:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/magazine/boeing-737-max-crashes.html

its not as simple as "corporate greed" and "corruption". pilot experience plays a role.

[tinrobot]

25. If this poll is correct, it means most planes will be half empty.

More room for me and my long legs.

Bring it.
