Boeing tries to restore confidence in 737 Max in stakeholders' presentation
In a presentation given to stakeholders last week in Seattle, Boeing announced it is not recommending new or additional simulator training for pilots before the grounded 737 Max flies again, according to documents obtained by CBS News. Instead, Boeing, pending Federal Aviation Administration approval, plans to provide airlines with "mandatory computer-based training modules" and other training materials.

Studies show knowledgeable aviation people are wrong on a significant number of occasions.
I would get back on the 737 MAX and it is unfortunate that the media has demonized the plane. If people refuse to fly it they have been tricked again by a news media that is always trying to hype up a story to get ratings. Knowledgeable aviation people have faith in Boeing and have more trust in it than they do with Airbus aircraft that have more software installed and have already gone through several disasters but people get on them every day. When all the face saving and actual reports on these two unfortunate accidents become readily known to the public this plane will fly again with great popularity.
It will be very difficult for Boeing to restore confidence in their 737 Max The ultimate customer is the passenger and if they do not have confidence in the product they will look for ways to avoid flying on this aircraft.
Airlines if and when the 737 max is approved are going to need their pilots and cabin crews to reassure the flying public that the plane is safe because if they cannot do that the aircraft roll out is doomed to fail.
Aside I would change the name to something other then 737 max. Optics are everything. Example: Philip Morris changed their name to Altria because the optics of the cigarette company was terrible and the name change altered the company's public perception.

”The ultimate customer is the passenger and if they do not have confidence in the product they will look for ways to avoid flying on this aircraft. ”
The flying public is not smart enough to know “when an aircraft is safe to fly again”. They only get their info from smeared media outlets.

If you go down a path and it doesn't work out, repeating the mistake will take you to the same dead end.
