It seems that you’re not going to die, if the pilot is from a major western airliner company.
However, if the 737 Max is flown by a pilot from a 3rd world country, then, yes, you might die.
And this was the problem to begin with. The pilots in 3rd world countries were not even trained on the 737 Max. They just told them, that it flew the same way as the older 737 planes.
To everyone’s horror, they found out the hard way. While the plane was in flight.
