Hello from a 787 and 777 first officer. The 737 MAX is one of the safest planes in the sky, if not the safest. The aircraft has undergone a lot of scrutiny. I am confident in the abilities of the aircraft. Considering the political costs, the FAA isn’t going to let the MAX slip up again.

Look, I'm an airline pilot (now retired) and have thousands of hours on various B737 models. This whole "737MAX debate" was a bit over-blown to be sure. YES, the MCAS system *should* have been better explained to pilots --- especially to "third world" operators. But properly understanding what is called a "Runaway Trim" situation and corrective actions is/are basic to that airplane design. So, no...it's not really a case of a "software patch" as you stated.

One visit to the Netherlands I even got to make one fresh... OMG, that thing was a taste explosion in my mouth! And here's the obligatory pronunciation paragraph. It's Strope-vafel. A "oo" in Dutch is a long oh, and the "w" is pronounced like a "v". Dutch is weird, but I have most of it figured out, I think. I should after 20 years.

@@sanspotter Both Austin and Houston have had good snows in the past, but not frequently at all. Only 3 years ago or so , though, we had three back to back snows in Austin, with the heaviest on the south side (very little in my part of the metro). This year, we had a good snow in Austin (at least on the north side) on January 10, but the one on February 15 was by far the heaviest in my 50 years here (6-8 inches, depending on what part of the metro). Still, we can easily go years without any at all. North and west Texas, however, usually get some every year.
