I'm making four flights soon with the Boeing 737 Max 8. I'm sure the software is probably all updated and debugged properly.
I also took an iPad course.
It's never too late to write your will. Just don't take it with you, leave it with a close reltive.
Funny thing is, I did.

Boeing assures you everything is properly debugged. Only known issues is that the engines could explode if the anti-icing is accidentally turned on, but the pilots have got a foolproof plan to avoid killing everyone with the flip of a switch:
Big deal, they did the same thing on Apollo 13, and that flight didn't experience any issues!
Trust me bro.
The likelihood that there will be anything wrong with your flights is minuscule. A hundred thousand planes fly around the Earth every single day and they almost never have any issues.
Of course. These are all routine <2 hr flights as well, without exposure to any particular weather extremes. They stay airborne well enough, under normal conditions. It's when there's a quirky mishap things can quickly escalate beyond control, and take a "dive" for the worse as it were...
Just flew on two flights both 737 Max 8.
I figure after a disaster there is more scrutiny, so these could be the safest planes to fly on right now.
Well after the first disaster the side fell off of a a second plane, so I'm not sure I'd risk it.
It’s not supposed to do that.
Fly?
It's not in the environment.
Just fly it outside the environment
I thought that half a dozen accidents ago. Now I'm a bit less confident.
This is like reverse gambler's fallacy.
