FAA Administrator Steve Dixon & Deputy Administrator Daniel Elswell will personally crew a 737 MAX next week:
The EASA is aiming for November recert. FAA was last aiming for a no earlier than October for a final published AD to bring it back.
I would discount anything Boeing says or does at this point. Their financial outlook is tied to the airlines but worse. The upside is the assumption of federal bailouts for Boeing are morning likely than those for airlines. Whether or not that outlook retains Boeing's current equity holders is another issue.
I guess it's too late by then.
im also not american, the patriotism of flying boeing is lacking from me.
For people who actually do fly, there is not really a good reason to avoid it after it is cleared by several national regulators (several in case you don't trust the FAA) to fly again. When that thing gets back in the air the systems that were involved in the two crashes are going to be among the most scrutinized and independently reviewed systems on any plane designed in the last 20 years.
You may still die on one, but it will be due to something other than anything related to MCAS.
