<p>If we trust FAA has done its job with its flight certification of the 737 Max 9, this is the right call. The question is - will passengers trust it? I am scheduled for a few Alaska flights this season. While I think this is about the safest time to travel given the additional due diligence required, I also will be holding my arm rest a little tighter flying on the Max 9. </p>
