Men and machines can be overdeveloped. Doing so can end in tears for both. If you'd read everything I've read about it you'd agree it should have been scrapped.
In my every day life I'm a Vacation planner. We received the communication from American long before it was announced to the public but at the same time we were told that if we had any customers scheduled to fly on the 737 Max 8, they would have the choice to change flights for free or cancel. Here's the link followed by the communication. Personally, I would wait at least a couple of years before flying on this version of a 737 (Air Canada & Westjet have them.)
Though we've taken every safety measure, we understand you may want to wait to fly on a 737 MAX. Thats why well be clear during booking and allow flexibility, so you always have a choice. We will:
Identify 737 MAX flights when you book online or on the app
Notify you if there's an aircraft swap due to a schedule change
Allow flexible rebooking when the aircraft changes to a 737 MAX
Rebooking
If youve booked a flight on a 737 MAX and would like to change, you can:
Rebook on the next available flight, in the same cabin, for free
Cancel for a travel credit on a future flight
Change your trip within 300 miles for no extra charge
