So i just looked at my flight info for my flight to nola in a couple of weeks, the plane is a United 737-800, I’m guessing this is the Max and I should go ahead and get my affairs in order prior to boarding correct?
Obviously a joke but not really

The powers that be will do everything in their power to blame accidents on pilot error.

The first was related to pilot error though right? And this recent crash the FO had 200-400 hours only?
I know why Boeing's not saying anything, but someone sure as hell should be pointing this out.
Not at all. The Lion Air aircraft had pitot tube issues on previous flights.
As already stated, pilots will always be the first blamed.
IMO, the 737 has evolved into something far different that the original design. Instead of having only differences training, a new type rating should have been issued for the newer 737 designs.

Greg Feith NTSB comments on Atlas Air crash Gregory Allen "Greg" Feith is an American former Senior Air Safety Investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Today on Denver News Channel 9, while commenting on the 737 Max crashes, Greg Feith said this, verbatim: “...and a lot of carriers overseas, they are so automation dependent that they don’t know, based on their training, when to intervene, and if there is a problem they continue to try to use the automation. We’ve seen that now in three accidents. Lion Air, Ethiopian, and in fact, Atlas Air, the one that crashed in Houston. The automation was still coupled, the pilots didn’t hand fly the airplane when they lost control and even through the recovery they were fighting the automation.”

Were the pilots foreign ?

training is dumbed down for "certain" international markets, they are trained to use automation and can actually be reprimanded for not using it, not a lot of experience, or much of a pool to draw from

The plane was owned by Amazon. The pilots were probably Indian.

They should have built a next gen 757.

Atlas Air owned, amazon just leases them, and the pilots are not foreigners.

contracted by Amazon, but the vacuum created by the hiring boom at the big airlines diminishes the experience level at stepping stone flying jobs

Jeez. It was a joke about amazon outsourced employees.

I believe the 737-700/800 are the safest commercial planes in history

I understood that, just curious to see if the pilots were indeed foreigners. Looks like one may be Columbian and the other from the Caribbean.

B38M is the 737 MAX 8
B737 is 737-700
B738 is 737-800
B730 is 739-900
Max 8s make up 5% of Southwest fleet
35 out of 755
they supposedly already shorthanded planewise with the maintenance issues... ground those 35 and surely plenty more cancellations
