At least one airline has refused to accept airplanes from boeing's SC plant because of the poor manufacturing policies practiced there. if boeing does shut down it's everett assembly plants as part of the downturn, i will stop flying any recent (post classic 737) boeing equipment for my own safety.
- liability 6y ago> Classic 737 I think there are only a few hundred of those left, they stopped making them 20 years ago. NGs seem fine to me, I've never thought twice before flying on one.
- thrawayjpikaf 6y agoyeah, i mean '737s made before the MAX body length extension.' thanks for making me clarify.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoWhy? The existing planes that were assembled in Everett were still assembled in Everett, whether or not they close the plant. You either want to only fly stuff built before the SC plant opened, or you want to fly individual planes that were built in Everett. Whether the plant stays open has nothing to do with it.
