Fly with a different airline? Don't fly at all? Take the train?

I already use sites like seatguru.com to work out the best seats on flights - I guess I'll now be checking to see if it is a boeing plane or not before booking.

Last minute aircraft swaps are pretty common, so you would have to have plans for that also.

Pick airlines that don't have any 737 Maxes in their fleet.

Which I think is only Delta in the US

Yeah, pretty much I guess. Delta seems to be the only major one missing from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_737_MAX_orders_...

JetBlue?

Delta, JetBlue, Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant come to mind. None of the carriers that fly regional jets for American and United have 737s of any sort. If the PR is that bad both Alaska, American, and United are in a much better position to scrap their MAXs than Southwest.

Now if the 787 is grounded or loses ETOPS certification, that'll be a much bigger hit for the big US airlines.
