They will now.
Boeing's lack of transparency about the problems with the 737-MAX will make it hard to feel confident about flying on it when it is recertified.

They’re gonna have to rebrand that thing.

They're gonna have to redesign it so that the airframe is dynamically stable, I definitely won't fly on it even if it's rebranded and the MCAS is patched somehow.

I booked a flight last month, made sure it wasn't a 737 max

Aren’t they grounded?

That used to seem like the reasonable take. http://glineq.blogspot.com/2018/09/hayekian-communism.html …

It reduces trust in the entire firm's product line. Ironically, as usual, the cover-up is the problem, not the original mistake. If they had admitted to goofing, grounded the fleet, and worked immediately on a fix, confidence would have remained high.

Ironically Boeing might have been better off if they kept the B757 production going then scale down to compete against A320neo. 737 & 757 share exactly the same fuselage cross-section but 757 had the ground clearance needed for high bypass high efficiency engines.

And what about other planes? Just because they didn't get caught doesn't mean they are clean.

Other planes have terrific track records and don't share the lazy design tradeoffs of the MAX (and we have pilots with intimate knowledge of the others).
