#2Is 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.

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.

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.

Be aware of the alternative aircraft code 737-8, which is a bit similar to the "good old" 737-800.
AA seems to show "7M8-Boeing 737MAX 8" though.

Honestly? Nothing. The issue is that I don't have enough time to evaluate whether the shoring-up job on the Max is sufficient.

Since the plane is aerodynamically flawed by design. I'll never step foot on one.
