I personally would not worry if my next flight is Boeing 737 max, the probability it will crash still very low, even if it do crash, I will be dead anyway it won't matter.

Doesn't mean I trust Boeing, I trust market force, I trust that other people will keep the uproar to keep airline in check.

I agree with you, and expect that engineers/regulators to do their jobs. But I think this is a form of the bystander effect. [1] I'm not sure what we can do proactively except be cognizant of what we choose to ride in.

The engineers and regulators have already proven they can't be trusted to do their jobs. Thankfully, the EASA has stepped up to do some proper regulation now that they've seen that they can't trust the FAA any more, and are keeping the plane grounded.

I personally would not worry if my next flight is Boeing 737 max either but I would worry if any members of my family were on it.
