As I understand it, all 737s pre-MAX are fine; you want to avoid the MAX planes because of MCAS and the new engine placement.

Yeah, just don't pay too much attention to the structural problems that Boeing is having with the 737 NG (cracked pickle forks). The inspection threshold keeps getting lower and the scope of the inspections keeps growing.
- iknowalot 7y agoWhat a branding disaster, tack on the name of reliable series of crafts to a flying suicide machine and destroy the whole line. I'm sure many customers will avoid 737s in general due to confusion.
- dredmorbius 7y agoBranding is like leverage. There's a downside that goes with the upside.
- Swenrekcah 7y agoThis will be such a confusion though. I’m reminded of my girlfriend who is not interested in airplanes and thinks all airplanes that start and end with a 7 are affected.
- nikanj 7y agoVery easy to avoid the MAX, as they remain grounded
- 333c 7y agoOf course — my comment was referring to when/if they become ungrounded.
