I expect the pressure from Boeing will mean that operations won't be long coming. The pilots aren't exactly busy, neither are the engineers, so training will proceed apace.
Any idea what that would entail?
Any idea how they're being taught to deal with it if it goes off the reservation?
But, but, BUT . . the dubious inappropriate physical deficiencies, have STILL not been addressedBut hangar space and simulator time is limited.
Not yet finalised and as has been mentioned, EASA are running up their own Return To Service protocol. Absolute minimum of a sim session (4 hours) covering differences. This was one of (the many) major criticisms by pilots’ groups and others in that the differences course* was a home study package on an iPad.
The software has been modified to essentially that on the 737NG. It still has MACS but it can now be over ridden by the pilots. There is a mandatory package in the U.K.for annual Recurrent Training, Classroom and Sim for UPRT (Upset Prevention and Recovery Training).
I‘d have no problem getting on one once all this is in place.

The 737 Max will be known as the 737-7, 737-8 and 737-9. In Ryanair's case it will be known as the 737-8200, a reference to the base -8 Max model having been fettled to fit 200 seats rather than the stock -8's 180ish.
International Air Transport Association aeroplane type codes will be B37M, B38M and B39M should you want to avoid booking a flight on one.
That'll really screw things up and delay departures. How about letting people decide before they board?Published by: Oliver Smith, The TELEGRAPH, on 24 November 2020.

Telegraph Travel readers have expressed reticence to step on board the aircraft, with a poll suggesting 43% would avoid doing so.
The chief executive of Ryanair has promised to give passengers the chance to disembark the 737 MAX before takeoff, and find them another flight, if they feel nervous about the jet’s safety record . . .

Clever renaming of the aircraft, though. Most people won't know that it's a re-branded 737 MAX.That'll really screw things up and delay departures. How about letting people decide before they board?
Rebranded because they're squeezing another 20 SLF on it. Normal configuration 180, greedy bastard have your knees in your chin configuration 200.Clever renaming of the aircraft, though. Most people won't know that it's a re-branded 737 MAX.

I should imagine that they are cheap.Ryanairs just ordered another load of 737 MAX's
No overhead luggage racks should keep the price down.I should imagine that they are cheap.
balanced out by all the extra seats they squeeze in.No overhead luggage racks should keep the price down.
Job jobbed!balanced out by all the extra seats they squeeze in.
Boeing more or less rigged the tests of how well pilots could react to an MCAS failure, and the FAA went along with it.Boeing (again) and the FAA (again) not coming up smelling of roses (surprise!):
