I still do my best to avoid flying on the MAX 8. V low confidence in Boeing after that debacle. They introduced MCAS to compensate for the fact that they didn't want to spend on redesigning an aerodynamically stable plane that could accommodate the new, larger engines.

When MCAS led to crashes, they dialled it back, increasing the power of the pilot relative to the computer. That's not a solve. In either case, the aircraft has an additional point of failure that properly designed aeroplanes do not have.

The 788 is great but the 787 MAX, not so much.

Needless to say this new story does not inspire further confidence.
