Boeing has been under increased scrutiny in recent weeks, and for good reason. The company’s reputation is at an all-time low, after we’ve repeatedly learned how the aircraft manufacturer has prioritized short term profits over safety.

I’m one of the people quoted in that piece and if you can’t appreciate that my comments were tongue in cheek, then maybe you need your head examined. I didn’t actually think I was going to die! Lordy…

So now Boeing is responsible for lithium battery construction and installation? That problem is long gone. I shouldn't mention currently the Tesla fires that are quite spectacular. Some apartments don't allow parking EV's inside. Now Ebikes, not scooters.

A220 isn't Airbus thus a better bird Bombardier C 300 or 100. A3xx used to plow a lot of ground in the 80's until they fixed fly-by-wire. But in India before internet so you didn't hear about all the "pilot error". Max flew thousands of flights safely before and after losing 2 birds. Note age, experience, and airlines involved. Note failure of single (cheap option) of failed angle -of-attack indicator supposedly repaired before fatal flight. Note American press loves to attack anything to sell newspapers while European press is rational. Fly Airbus if you want. But hysterical nonsense like driving YVR SEA is ridiculous.

Just like consumers have rights to avoid them, they also have rights to not avoid them. Although I don't see myself stepping on a 737 MAX 9, I'll happily fly on other Boeing planes. Would you apply the same and not fly on JAL or ANA if they literally have a steal deal but it's operated by a 787? I don't see that happening, not only you but everyone else saying that "if it's Boeing, I ain't going!" No you won't. Btw, I hope that you're aware that recent United incidents are very likely because of their poor maintenance, not Boeing's whatever fault.

There has never been a B737MAX crash in the US. While the MCAS design was problematic, both overseas accidents were recoverable.

You do realize that the B737MAX variants have been flying for several years, and have logged MILLIONS of flight hours.

Do you have a source for that claim, Andrea?
