Josh, I'm a 737 F.O. for an airline here in the U.S. and I fly the MAX alot. I just want to tell your subscribers that the MAX is a safe. It is the most scrutinized airplane ever made. Those of us who fly the MAX have a great time flying it. It's faster, quieter and with the larger glass panels in the cockpit, it's a pleasure to fly. I understand why people do not want to fly on the MAX but I will tell you our airplanes are full every flight and the 737-MAX makes up a good portion of our aircraft fleet.

Being a retired Southwest employee I have had many flight experiences on the Max 800 ever since they first got delivered. Have had zero issues with flying and working with the aircraft. It’s a reliable and comfortable and very quiet it also has one of the best fuel economys of any aircraft . The one advantage it has is the altitude it flys at it can use shorter direct flights because it can fly over most airliners . I do like your videos especially with airline I haven’t used . Plus even though I worked with aircraft for 40 years and a
Have traveled all over the world I’m not done yet with this passion yet

My brain kept scrambling Akasa into Alaska - but there's no eskimo on the tail! 😅

The 737 MAX was very literally a killer plane when launched, but later it underwent the most intense and thorough scrutiny ever in aviation history, with aviation authorities from all over the world making demands to Boeing that were never made to any other aircraft or manufacturer before. After the fixes, I doubt that there is a safer plane in the skies right now. I'd fly on one without a second thought.

I was one of the people who criticized 737 max alot but this changed when I traveled from dubai to istanbul and return with fly dubai boeing 737 max. It seemed safe aircraft to me. It changed my opinion about it

[adlam]

It is great to see a crew who want to be there and do care what the passengers think. I have seen some of your other videos where they simply don't. This airline I do hope this airline continues. It would not bother me flying on a 737, many people flew in DC10s during a period when there seemed always to be crashes.

[jamesellis]

In the beginning I would avoid the MAX, however now after flying on AA MAX and loved it I would fly them often. Another great video my friend!! Thank you ...Jim

[SlavaUkraini]

flew the MAX in September last year from Zurich to Iceland, felt comfortable and safe

[dipaola]

What a lovely cabin crew!!.. I hope this airline grow more, hope they keep up the good work!! Nice crew uniforms too!!!

[dannybau]

I have flown in several MAX aircraft and I feel very safe in them. I fly frequently with Southwest Airlines within the US (the largest operators of the 737 and 737 MAX in the US and world), both short and long haul with stops, direct with stop and non-stop. When I hear all the negativity about those aircraft, you have to also realize that other aircraft in the past have had spotted history, but lessons were learned. It comes to an airline to properly train their crews to meet or exceed national and international standards.

I don't have an issue flying on a Max 8, in fact I've done so a couple of times this year. The way I look at it is if the crew are comfortable enough to fly it now that the issues have been rectified, then I'm happy to be sitting in the back. After all, the crew want to get home safely at the end of the day just as much as the passengers do!

[michaelosgood]

A320 family are my favorite narrowbody types but I'd still travel on a Max, as it has been cleared to fly commercially again. As for the Max being the safest airplane in the skys- bunkum!

[jimmydeluna]

I flew on a Aeromexico 737 Max 8 four months ago it was an awesome experience, much quieter than 737-800 . Loved the mood lighting in the cabin. I do believe it’s a safe aircraft to fly on.

[MrCraigNic]

I love those purple seats!

I'd not hesitate fly the max - am sure every aircraft type has been involved in at least 1 major incident and had reliability issues, but you can't let an aircrafts past put you off flying that type. Long live the Max

I flew singapore airlines 737-8 max from singapore to phuket back in feb 2022! I was definitely quite cautious of getting on board this plane as I originally booked with the A350 in mind. A few times during the flight I did think at "what point we would start plummeting to the ocean?!" I can say that both flights were operated smoothly and I am still able to type this comment haha In the future, I would definitely prefer to book flights that are not operated by the 737-8 max

[AndrewSephiTV]

Here in Canada if you fly local you will end up on a Max 8 it is very difficult to avoid it since all airlines use the Max 8. In Brazil (the country I was born) I also fly on it a lot since Gol is changing their oldest 700 and 800 for the max 8 and is not uncommon to have a flight scheduled with the max 8. On my last trip to Brazil I flew on 4 maxes, 2 on Air Canada and 2 on Gol.

I'm always moved by how kind and understanding you are with the cabin crew and I'm sure that's why they prepared you this little gift. As a crew myself, it's great that you treat them with utter most respect! For the Max, it's just sad that Boeing lived in denial til the very end claiming so many lives in the name of profit so I can understand that many people have concerns til now.

[thurber]

As of today there are 4, 814 of the 737 max on the order books. It's hard to say that this aircraft is not in demand

[sethuramancbi]

As long as Singapore Airlines is flying 737 max, I'm happy to be in a 737 max on any given date.
