Most 737s are among the safest planes ever built (because they aren't MAX). Whether or not the MAX will live up to the safety record of the previous gen going forward is yet to be seen.
- jacquesm 5y agoGoing forward? You don't get to wipe off a chunk of the graph that you don't like, the crashes that happened and the flights that happened without crashes are all part of the MAX safety record (oh, and that goes for the 'rebranded' version as well).
- alkonaut 5y agoNo one is wiping. By “going forward” I mean that if the corrections prove working then for each flight hour the safety record improves in the sense of accidents per flight hour. The MAX safety record is terrible because there are many incidents per flight hour. Not because there are many incidents. It needs to fly about 10M flights per fatal accident to be catching up with the 737 NG.
