Would you fly a 737 anytime soon? Yes, I would in the US Mainland. From what I have been able to read, the US pilots are trained to shut the system off, if problematic, and not turn it back on until the wheels are back on the ground. And it only applies to the Max series, supposedly, where the huge engines were placed farther forward. However, it's getting harder to determine what is fake and real news anymore in many reports.

Would you fly a 737MAX anytime soon? NEVER! Boeing got greedy and knowingly put profit above safety and cut corners to facilitate the quick release of a knowingly unstable aircraft in order to counter the release of the Airbus 320Neo competition. Boeing by slapping the bigger heavier engines to an old frame, ended up changing the 737 aerodynamics to unstable and instead of designing a plane that was stall proof they ended up with a plane that is stall prone. No software can fix a fundamental design flaw. Only a complete redesign will do that. Boeing's 'single point failure': Why was there no backup system on 737 Max jet?usatoday.com Others, however, aren't so sure that Boeing can find an adequate repair, saying that the twin crashes are proof that the plane's problems run deeper than flawed sensors. They say the design itself has created inherent problems that simple fixes won't solve. "You go to the source of the problem, not the symptom," said consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who lost a niece in the Ethiopian Airlines crash. "An aircraft has to be designed stall proof, not stall prone."
