I have been intentionally avoiding Max since the Lion and Ethiopian (at least when I buy the ticket).

However, there were occasions when the airline rescheduled my flights (for many different reasons), which resulted in me being on a max flight. While I can change one of them, changes to most of them were not practical (time-wise, effort-wise, etc). So, at some point, I have to live with the fact that flying max is unavoidable. Any idea how we can practically circumvent this?

You can fly carriers that don't have any Boeing planes. JetBlue, Spirit, and Frontier don't operate any Boeing planes, as far as I know.

Avoiding all boeing planes altogether seems to be an overkill solution to me. An older version of 737 and 777 seems to be working pretty well. At least historically.

Fly airlines whose fleets are 100% Airbus?

I don't mind flying an older version of 737, though. :-)

That would probably require an active monitoring and notification system outside of the extension, maybe using a flight tracker api. It could be an added option at the purchase screen. At a minimum I may add this disclaimer here.

Fly less

I did. But unfortunately, work does not allow me to optimize this solution.
