Broadly speaking, if it's Boeing (Max), I ain't going.

I hate flying to begin with and nothing can make me get into a 737 Max even after they fix the glitch.

My last business trip in August to go 1900 miles I drove and got there in 3 days and it was an awesome road trip. So low stress and no travel anxiety that flying brings with the insanity of the airport, TSA, and airlines.

I cant wait to drive again and have it paid for by my employer. They give me the cost of the plane ticket + airport parking + luggage fee as cash to drive and my car was getting 38 MPG and I was able to get there and back and have extra money left over to keep. 

But it worked out to me paid 8 hours for first day of travel and driving on my 2 days off to then be back to work on the start of my week right away to avoid burning vacation hours in the process each way and I was driving 10 hours a day for the 3 days each way. I was out there for a month so it didn't feel like I just got there and was going home right away.

I was able to avoid the nasty hotel food at times as well as I took some road trips on the weekends to Texas and stuff like that from Norman, Oklahoma were I was out for 4 weeks of System Training for automation machinery that I support/repair.

Everybody: "It's safer to fly than it is to drive"

Boeing: "And it's about time somebody did something about that"
