Would you fly on Boeing's grounded airplane?

Many of us don't worry about what type of airplane

We're traveling on, because, as I noted in my previous blog, the safety aspect is easy to take for granted.

But Boeing's 737 MAX airplane had a built-in flaw that caused it to crash. Twice.

Southwest Airlines, which operates only the Boeing 737 aircraft, has recently stated that they are eager to put their 34 grounded airplanes back into service. Additionally, the company chairman has said that they will purchase "hundreds more" of the presently grounded aircraft.

This despite the fact that some Southwest passengers are taking to social media to decry flight cancellations, and out of fear that they were flying on a Southwest 737 Max.

I have also talked to friends who travel frequently, who have stated that they would probably book another flight, if they could avoid flying on the 737 MAX.

We'll just have to wait and see what Boeing comes up with to improve the airplane and train the pilots.

And in my opinion, they will also have take steps to repair the damaged reputation of the airplane.
