It should be noted though that the airplane type is only marginally * relevant in this incident (I'm saying that because many have other associations when a B737 gets mentioned in an "incident" context).
* The only relevance is that the ability to open windows / reach other windows to clean them during flight depends on the airplane type. So it's actually a plus for the 737, in this case.

- SilasX 7y agoI confess to immediately trying to think of a snarky remark about how Boeing will trivialize this with statement involving language about "3rd-world airlines" :-P (i.e. similar to initial dismissals of the MAX)
