Whether the Max 9 or the 737-900ER are flying, the bad press that Boeing is dealing with is not good for them and doesn't make passengers believe in the product unless of course, which probably includes most, aren't aware of what type of aircraft they are flying on. I can sort of understand why the 737-900ER is flying because it's an older plane and if the door plugs haven't failed by now, they are probably just fine. You have to remember the accident happened on a brand new airplane, not one that's been flying for several years.
Until Boeing fixes their safety protocols I will be uneasy about flying on any of their new products. I'm happy flying on their older planes, such as the 777, and the 787 has gone through its teething problems and is unlikely to catch fire at inopportune times. But now we learn new 737 Max 7 and 10s have issues with their engine cowlings. It's a never-ending mess with Boeing these days.
