From flight aware it looks like it was a NG not a MAX, so there's that at least.

Based on trackradar, it went from 30,000 feet to the ground in a hurry.

I flew on it one time. 13 hour flight. I wasn't allowed to use any electronics the entire flight. Chinese nationals had no issues, though.

There’s a great documentary about the MAX and the flight control problems it has. The new 737s still use the old airframes. The whole upgrade process was hastily thrown together to compete with airbus. It is a dangerous plane and it always has been.

The pilot was talking to the co-pilot about fried rice, and the co-pilot thought he said "fly right." So the co-pilot made a hard right turn, but there was a mountain there.

In the process of forming your expert opinion on how dangerous the max is, how many hours have you spent flying them? And your aeronautical engineering degree is from where?

It wasn't a max here, but, the max is the last I can think of where the entire fleet was grounded. 300 people dead in 2 crashes, no max flown for two years... It ain't good.

All the plane crashes? Guess you are missing the sarcasm emoji. There only been something like 72 major incidences since 2017 (at least per Wikipedia). And something like 212 million plus commercial flights in that time (at least per statista.com).

It’s the most common airliner.

Not sure of your age, but it seemed like, when I was a kid, we had way more airline crashes.  It seems to be truly rare now, even for the budget and foreign airlines that mayor may not have invested heavily in pilot training.

I used to do initial pilot training for a lot of China Eastern's employees here in the USA. 99% of the people we trained were bright, young, and kind gentlemen.

I only had a handful that we terminated due to performance and/or attitudes. Being selected by the airline to become a pilot is the USA equivalent of Delta Airlines offering to pay for all your flight training and provide you with a career as a pilot for the rest of your life, right out of college.
