Not the first aircraft with a problem that has been [hopefully] corrected. Public confidence has been badly shaken, so it will take a long time to rebuild it. I would like to see better information on what the software fix was. I would say I have far less confidence in the FAA in reviewing it than in Boeing creating the fix.
I think Boeing's big PR hurdle to get past is that they stuck this MCAS system in the Max 8 and then didn't spend the resources to educate the crews on the system worked even though there are stories from pilots who claimed to have had similar control problems with it even before the two fatal crashes. That suggests an intentional cover up along with the technical problems. A bad combination.
