How many of these planes in first-world airline fleets have had problems?

American Airlines took 14 737-800s out of service per a story dated March 7 - 3 days before this crash.

Southwest had a problem with its first commercial outing with the plane https://thepointsguy.com/2017/10/first-sw-737-max-breaks-down/

Southwest has also ordered cockpit display modifications because they don't have confidence in the Boeing systems. https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/southwest-airlines-is-adding-new-angle-of-attack-indicators-to-its-737-max-fleet/

If Boeing is burying their heads in the sand, they need to fire their crisis management team and start over.

Boeing for years refused to admit that the 737s had a hard over rudder problem. IIRC there were two or three fatals directly involving the defect.

I’ll bet that by Wednesday that most of the world’s 737 Max will be grounded. Can you imagine the liability an airline has if they fly it despite several airlines grounding theirs after to similar fatal crashes?

American took some REFURBISHED 737s out of service because of the refit on the overhead bins.
