In my unscientific Twitter poll of user attitudes towards flying on the Boeing 737 Max once its airborne again, a whopping 62% of respondents either said they’d never fly on it or that they’d wait a year or two. Only 24% said they’d fly on the plane if “they say it’s OK”. https://t.co/xZD8fqj5mN — PolitiTweet.org

And it’s not like this is some great advance in passenger comfort. The first 737 flew in *1968* - 51 years ago. It was designed as a narrow, small plane for short hops. But Boeing has made longer and longer versions that cram in more and more people and fly much longer routes. — PolitiTweet.org
