Reminds me of those who said they'd never ride in a Toyota again after the unintended acceleration catastrophe. It cost them BILLIONS, now people hardly remember it.
I'm not convinced that relationship has changed that much due to this debacle, so I remain skeptical of Boeing and its products, as well as the FAA to give correct oversight over the long term.
It would be cool if carriers caved into this fear and sold 737 MAX tickets at a discount.
Also, you're forgetting EASA and other countries' regulators. I'm sure they've picked over everything as well. I think they had egg on their face, as they're supposed to act as another foreign check on these designs.
You have a point, but Everyone is a lot of people.
