In my experience the non aviation geeks are also worried about 737 Max’s.
That’s validated by the fact that the involved companies are referring to it as the 737-8 instead, which will not fool anyone who knows anything about aviation and is geared entirely towards ordinary people.
- throwaheyy 6y agoReferring to it as the 737-8 is consistent with their current branding lineup. See other numerous examples 747-8, 787-9 or 777-9. Similarly the 737-800 is widely just referred to as the 737-800 and not the 737 Next Generation 800.
- redler 6y agoThere's already the 737-800. So you're saying companies flying the Max may have in their fleet both a 737-800 (aka the "738"), and what they're now calling a "737-8"?
- Aperocky 6y agoI do remember the flight app I used to use show me the aircraft make and model and even serial number. Hopefully they keep doing that.
