I am with you with respect to newer Boeings, but it is nearly impossible to know in advance, which I see as a major issue. You could book thinking one thing and the airline swaps in something else before the flight.
I think if passengers could make these decisions that would filter into the decision making of airlines which would then hit the manufacturers in terms of orders.
- iso1631 5y agoYes realistically you don't get a choice. The phrase at the start of the Jet age used to be "If It Ain’t Boeing – I Ain’t Going". Boeing was a reliable company that built planes. That culture has been missing for a couple of decades, and the rot takes a long time to set in. It's not about specific planes or specific technologies, it's a shift from Boeing being a cmopnay that survived by making a high quality product which happened to make some money, to one that needs to make ever increasing money and happens to make products
- DocTomoe 5y agoThe solution is to not book airlines that use Boeing equipment. This is easier for Europeans than Americans, arguably, but it is not impossible.
