Interesting to look at the Max 8 in the air according to Flightaware. Seems that the CAA has relaxed its ban already.https://flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B38M
Better to be safe than sorry.
Very sad.

Had friends already asking me how they can tell a 737Max from other aircraft as they don't want to fly it.
Its better to know before you book is my initial response....

Yes, look before u book. Easy using flightaware browse by aircraft type. Search for B38M and B39M . Those are 4 letter industry codes for 737 8 max and 737 9 max respectively. That would yield a list & map of the flights currently airborne. In North America you might see AAL. SWA. UAL . Also a few Air Canada and WestJet. Of course you would expect to see the aircraft type listed on airline booking site. These methods aren't 100 percent accurate but show you which carriers & routes are STILL operating maxes. (Smarmy trolls .will now tell us that Boeing made a Perfect product that should not be questioned )
This from Reuters seems to suggest a different cause than Lion Air:
GARA-BOKKA, Ethiopia (Reuters) - The Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed killing 157 people was making a strange rattling noise and trailed smoke and debris as it swerved above a field of panicked cows before hitting earth, according to witnesses.

I am sure there have been phone calls from EASA, FAA, and the UK authority regarding what investigators know thus far. I am also sure that Boeing, who has official standing in both investigations, has also been in contact with the same government authorities.
We do not know the reasonings behind the decisions made by those government authorities, and what they know or don't know. All you and I can offer is supposition at this point. Perhaps those authorities concluded to take the safe course, and erred on the side of caution. I am not sure I could blame them.
