I have absolutely no more fear flying in a new 737 max vs any other commercial airplane. It might help that one of my best friends is a Captain at a major airline and has flown the new 737 max numerous times without issue and has related that for the most part US based airlines are better at training and have more experienced pilots who could have conceivably avoided the two accidents that have occurred.
There is still no excuse in my opinion for Boeing to put such an important passive safety system on a plane and not properly inform the buyers and fliers of it’s differences to what they typically fly.
