Here is one data point for you: no matter the price of alternatives, I will not step on a 737. Ever.

- metanoia 7y agoYou have already, probably multiple times. The 737 model is proven over 50 years of service. The Max has issues, for sure, and I will be weary of that as well as the upcoming 777X, but I wouldn't hesitate to get on any prior 737 or other Boeing model.
- munk-a 7y agoIf you purchase a plane ticket for a flight that appears to be carried by a bombardier model, would you refuse to board the plane at the gate if the bombardier plane ended up requiring maintenance and they swapped it out for a 737? How many vacation days would you sacrifice out of your week in Cancun to stand by that belief?
- FabHK 7y agoThe 737s are the most common airliner in the world, more than 10000 have been built, and more than 1000 are in the air right now. The pre-MAX 737s are just fine (though it had some issues with the rudder in the 90s, and, well, nearly 2% of all 737s built have been lost (184 hull losses) with nearly 5000 fatalities. Goes to show how much they fly.)
