Ask HN: How do I determine if my airline is using the 737Max so I can cancel? 3 points by kpennell 7y ago ↗ HN Would rather not die.
[–] halfnibble 7y ago ↗ If you're trying to not die, the most important thing is to choose a reputable airline. One that hires and retains experienced pilots with rigorous training programs. (Most major US airlines meet this standard). [–] mtmail 7y ago ↗ And non-suicidal pilots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525) [–] halfnibble 7y ago ↗ Yep. That's a big one. It also helps to avoid flying over areas with widespread use of surface-to-air missiles. [–] foobarbazetc 7y ago ↗ Ah, good old exceptionalism. Getting people killed since the beginning of time. [–] halfnibble 7y ago ↗ I won't argue that it's not exceptionalism. In fact, it is exactly that. Per mile flown, no other country compares.https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielreed/2016/12/28/in-the-la...
