Don't fly on a 737-MAX

The misanthrope who runs RyanAir has calculated that punters who buy purely on low price don't care about aircraft safety that much. He's ordered another 300 of the 737 Max.

He's right too - as much as it pains me to agree with that gobshite.

Ryanair don’t have much choice, they run a single type fleet of 737s and Boeing stopped producing the NG years ago

I flew to/from Chambery in February and that was on a 37-800 Max with Jet2 - definitely wasn't a worry and I felt very safe.

With respect, this is exactly the problem - for both the public and Boeing - there's no such thing as a 737-800 Max. They are different models - the 737-800 is the older model with a good safety record, the 737MAX-8 is the new model with the as-yet poor safety record.

Jet2 still only has 737-800s according the their Wikipedia entry.
