American Plans To Fly The 737 MAX This Year - AVweb

I think the flying public fall into certain groups. For the most part, you have people who don’t know what kind of plane they’re on, and probably don’t care. There are people who have concerns with any plane that is “too little” and that acceptable size threshold varies individually. The body of people who know and strongly care whether or not they’re flying on a MAX is going to be relatively small. Those people will never be ready for it until after the airplane has been back in routine service of a year or more. So at some point service must begin.
