I am less concerned about the hardware engineering of the 737MAX (Boeing knows how to do that), than I am about the safety critical software (Boeing has got previous in this area, eg Chinook FADEC). Until an independent, line-by-line review of the hazard log and source code for completeness, accuracy, bugs and security vulnerabilities has been conducted and the actions implemented, you won't see me getting on a 737MAX.

More importantly. if that isn't done, on what basis will the FAA certify the software is safe-to-fly ? Boeing's 'trust us' ? Also, how did FAA certify it as safe, before the disasters ?
