Probably the safest flight ever.

Boeing’s very existence depends on this flight. You’d better believe they’ve put millions of $$$ into ensuring no possibility for anything to go wrong. Plane probably has more safety systems than there are Windows computers.

“Boeing’s very existence depends on this flight”

Actually, the MAX has been flying already in preparation for certification. This will be one boring and routine flight.

It’s one thing to show on paper that the plane is safe to fly. How many fliers would actually be willing to set foot inside a 737max again ?

Nice ride.

A lot of nervous people involved. Especially the scapegoats.
