I’m sure I read that Ryanair had removed the ‘max’ part of the name from the sides of theirs so pax wouldn’t notice it was a max they were getting on. Maybe apocryphal but well it is Ryanair.

Boeing's own announcements are already saying its the its the 737-8 and 737-9 returning to service with no mention of the word "Max".

"Oh no! This delta flight is a 737" "Which kind? I didn't think delta had the bad ones" "Nine hundred E R" "Thats fine, its the eight and nine that are the problem" "Right! Its a nine!" "...hundred ER" "Looks like I can get an ERJ to Detroit and then an airbus instead I'll do that. I really want to make sure I get this xbox one x to my nephew for christmas" "...you mean series x right"

Presumably the type code will still be 7M8 etc? Looking forward to people pulling the samsung processor lottery poo poo with airline tickets. "Oh yeah they're both labeled as 737-900 but if you see here you want type code 739, not 7M9. I'd just cancel that ticket right now"

I feel like right now, the sort of people who would be intensely paranoid about flying a MAX because of flaws that were corrected, then they're probably also paranoid about the general danger of being on a metal tube filled with a bunch of strangers in the middle of a pandemic, and would choose not to fly in the first place. More people are dying daily of COVID-19 in America per day than died in all MAX accidents.

That said, I actually have confidence that Boeing fixed it, if only because of the damage it would do to shareholder value if another MAX turned into a smoking crater.

Wow with all the other poo poo going on in 2020 I had honestly forgotten about the max. Honestly I'm sure the vast majority of the flying public has too. Can't wait to see what shitshow my airline will come up with when it comes time to retrain all of us on the 737

Did the Max issue come down to a specific set of conditions causing the glitch or was it random?
