Not sure I'd be comfortable about taking a flight if I'm being honest.

Safer than any car I drive, and much safer than cycling in a city.
Only the Americans (quelle surprise) refusing to ground a Boing plane. If it was Airbus they would have grounded every plane and possible variant.
Probably, but if two examples of a new model of car of which tens of thousands more exist were to randomly explode, killing their occupants, would you want to drive one?Safer than any car I drive, and much safer than cycling in a city.
If this were a car and it were put on hold and recalled, that's the right thing to do if circumstances dictate. That's for the regulatory authorities, be they CAA, dvla, or whoever. That will take it out of circulation until it's fixed. Until then I'll get in one if it pulls up as a taxi. It's minimal exposure. I'd think twice before I bought one and used it every day though, you're right.Probably, but if two examples of a new model of car of which tens of thousands more exist were to randomly explode, killing their occupants, would you want to drive one?
You’d certainly hear about it and it would certainly be bad publicity for the manufacturer, and it’s almost certain that sales would be put on hold and a recall issued.
It does seem that a single sensor is allowed to control a safety critical system. Even making both AOA sensors visible to the crew is not a proper fix, there should be 3 to allow a vote
"Incorrect. As I type this, no country in North America has grounded a Boing (sic) plane ."
My point, directed at Cutting42; why clam that only America has refused to ground the aircraft in question when this is not the case. The plane is still flying in Canada and Mexico.
