Boeing Co.’s 737 MAX plane could return to service this summer after being grounded world-wide since March. Lance White, a 39-year-old radiologist who flies a few times a year, says he has no plans to board the jets once they do.
“I just don’t know there’s anything Boeing could do to re-instill my confidence in this plane,” Mr. White said. The St. Louis resident said he would want to see the jet fly safely for at least five years before he considered boarding one.
