And loads of people will fly on them too!
With the name change process in place by Boeing and the airlines to remove the word Max from all documentation etc, only a plane geek will know what they are getting on (or not) by engine nacelle shape/design.The Max will be erased from history to save Boeing's bacon.

In normal circumstances, this wouldn't even rate a mention in news bulletins.......However, as far as the Max is concerned, the slightest minor incident will be news worthy given the media attention on its RTS.

From that article, Sully says:-https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55827358
Celebrated aviation safety campaigner Captain Chesley Sullenberger - one of the pilots who safely landed an engineless Airbus plane in the Hudson river in New York in 2009 - also believes that modifications to the Max do not go far enough.
He says changes are needed to warning systems aboard the plane, which were carried over from a previous version of the 737 and are "not up to modern standards".

An ex- Boeing employer has voiced his own concerns too...

You'd hope Boeing would realise the stakes - if another Max goes down anytime soon, after they've allegedly fixed it, that'll be the death-knell for that model.
Of course, they could be a bunch of super-arrogant jerks who think they're so big and powerful they can get away with anything...
(Hell, it worked for the bankers...)

It's be the death knell for Boeing as well......Of course, they could be a bunch of super-arrogant jerks who think they're so big and powerful they can get away with anything...
But, I think the latter view is the one Boeing is adopting.....
