your listing of 737's isn't quite correct:
737-600s, 737-700s, 737-800s and 737-900s are part of the 737NG/Next Generation series that debuted in 1998. They are still flying and are safe. 737-8s are part of the 737MAX series (which includes 737-7s, 737-8s, 737-9s, and 737-200s), and they are all unsafe/grounded. As far as I know, the 737-8 is the only MAX variant to actually have been delivered so far, but I can't find a proof of that at the moment.
- liability 6y ago> 737MAX series (which includes [...] 737-200s), The 'MAX 200' is the 737-8200. The 737-200 is one of the originals from the 1960s.
- DuskStar 6y agoYeah, I should have said -600, -700, -800, -900 instead of -6, -7, -8, -9. For some reason I got that naming convention mixed up, and forgot that the -800 was NG while -8 was MAX. The 737-200 is one of the first-gen 737s, and still active today, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#737-200 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#737-200
- sjm-lbm 6y agoSibling comment got it, but I was thinking about the MAX 200/737-8200, which is a variant of the -8 that has more exit doors and therefore can have a higher seating density. Totally agree that the model numbers are confusing, though (obviously).
