The investigation is tied to an incident on an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Boeing also told a Senate panel that it cannot find a record of the work done on the Alaska plane.

    I’m making four flights soon with the Boeing 737 Max 8. I’m sure the software is probably all updated and debugged properly.

      It’s never too late to write your will. Just don’t take it with you, leave it with a close reltive.

      The likelihood that there will be anything wrong with your flights is minuscule. A hundred thousand planes fly around the Earth every single day and they almost never have any issues.

        Of course. These are all routine <2 hr flights as well, without exposure to any particular weather extremes. They stay airborne well enough, under normal conditions. It’s when there’s a quirky mishap things can quickly escalate beyond control, and take a “dive” for the worse as it were

      Just flew on two flights both 737 Max 8.

      I figure after a disaster there is more scrutiny, so these could be the safest planes to fly on right now.
