I see. I mean, I actually enjoy flying despite the hastles of getting to and from the plane. But, I’d rather not take my family on a Max. However, when I hear 738 8 Max and I see 737-800 on my ticket, I immediately wonder if they’re the same thing. The presence of articles like this make me think this is a pretty common concern:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boeing-737-max-8-boeing-737-800-how-are-the-planes-different/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boeing-737-max-8-boeing-737-800...
And this is despite the fact that I’ve always felt safe on Boeing planes because they’ve historically had such a great safety record.
I would assume this is gonna have a negative impact on the 737 line as a whole, since people tend to read just the headline. Whereas, had they immediately grounded the Max, there’d be no question; as a passenger you’d know you weren’t on the troubled plane, because they grounded that one.
It’s like when Romaine lettuce gets recalled; a lot of people just stop buying lettuce because they’re just not sure which kind it was that got recalled.
