I don't see it as a PR show at all. He is a professional 737 captain. Why not test the mods himself? He did the new MAX training he triggered the new MCAS so he will better know and understand what he has to decide about soon.

It's not counting towards the FAA verdict. Like you said. He is not interfering with the authority. But he knows what he is talking about and supports his team. Nothing wrong from my view. He received the modified training and could practically feel if he was prepared for the aircraft.

Don't get me wrong. I praise him for being extremely supportive on his team throughout the process. However, that doesn't change my view that the test flight he did is just using tax payers' money for a show. If his flight is not part of the certification, then why bother spend time to do so while he has a lot more on his plate that requires his attention.

SO let's wait at least another year then. Not before Oct 2021.
