I will never knowingly fly in one of these planes.
Why should anyone want to?
They are an old design with larger engines bolted on to the wings to save on development costs to compete with other airlines.
The larger engine casing rises above the wings and creates scenarios where stalling can arise on takeoff. Sensors in the body detect the stall and software changes the controls automatically, to compensate.
A sensor failed, and a crash ensued, two in fact close together, but rather than abandon the modification all together and start from scratch with an inherently safe design, Boeing seemingly puts a patch into the software, and extends pilot training to cope with it.
Does this inspire passenger confidence?
Is BA wise to go ahead with their contract for this now notorious aircraft?
