Sure, maybe it's pre-COVID info. Let's do a Fermi "how many piano tuners" and say subtracting the small private jets and Airbus, there are 5 million flights on Boeing hardware, in the USA alone. Let's say maybe 20 million worldwide (probably way too low a number). There were 20 million successful flights with Boeing hardware per year, year after year. 1 of them crashes, and you say "Never flying a Boeing again?".
Anyway, why should I take some random Internet outburst seriously. How about I make a $1000 bet that you'll find yourself on a Boeing flight between now and Jan 1, 2026? Would you be willing to do that?
