You know the 737 and the 737 MAX are two completely different planes right?

- echelon 7y agoI'm not going to fly on any 737, just in case the MAX bit gets truncated. Everyone I've talked to has expressed the same fear. I don't care if it's irrational or not - it's my life, and I'm not risking it on one of these stupid, cost-cutting planes.
- anticensor 7y agoBoeing 737-MAX is longer than previous iterations of 737.
- subway 7y agoAnd that means...?
- anticensor 7y agoYou cannot confuse them because of the sheer size and shape difference.
- na85 7y agoThe physical characteristics are not presented to you when booking your flight. By the time you've arrived at the airport and see the MAX at your gate, it's too late and you've already paid your fare.
- anticensor 7y agoYou can DDG specifications of your plane by model number and nay, they have to be unique per revision.
- echelon 7y agoI'm choosing 1. to make certain I don't board one of these machines by mistake. I will not risk my life over this egregious comedy. 2. to vote with my dollars and punish Boeing and businesses that do business with Boeing, especially if they refuse to remove these planes from their fleet. What Boeing committed here is leagues beyond the recent emissions scandals. It's criminal and the perpetrators should be afraid of the coming justice. This should honestly be as close to a company-ending event as one could imagine. We shouldn't treat this lightly, slap on the wrist, business as usual. This must never happen again.
- sean_the_geek 7y agoYes I do. But as the comment above says, I am not risking it, even though it is borderline irrational.
