Just curious, what would it take for you to get on a 737-Max? European and American regulators have gone over it with a fine tooth comb at this point and allow it to fly. There is always gonna be people that will say the plane shouldn't fly. Arguably the amount of attention this plane has gotten will probably make it one of the safest in the industry going forward.
I suppose it boils down to whether you have confidence in the FAA of 2020 to make a decision that would be strongly against the financial interests of Boeing and many US carriers. I think the Max will crash again. Excuse me, the 737-8 will crash again.
I do not trust modern day American corporations nor the oversight bodies. There are too many financial incentives to cut corners.
What are people going to fly instead? The regular 737? Have you seen the list of how many 737 crashes there have been? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incident... Or maybe A320 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incident...

Is there any way to know what kind of aircraft you'll be boarding when purchasing tickets? I've never paid attention until now, and the 737-Max is definitely a non-starter.
ADDED: And I'm guessing things are more fluid than usual in the current situation.

Every airline will show you the scheduled aircraft when booking tickets, usually right next to the airports and travel times. Nothing guarantees they won't change it at some point before the flight though.

Since the plane is aerodynamically flawed by design. I'll never step foot on one.
But its not?
>Travis is unequivocal in his assessment of the Boeing 737 MAX. “It’s a faulty airframe. You’ve got to fix the airframe [and] you can’t fix the airframe without moving the engines” back and away from their current position.
>The root problem with the engine-forward design is “once this thing pitches up, it wants to keep pitching up,” said Travis. “That’s a big no-no,” he continued, because pitch-up on an aircraft increases angle of attack.
