The 800? I've no problem getting in a Boeing airplane. The 737NG, in particular, has one of the best (if not THE best) safety records in history.

- DocTomoe 5y agoAirplane safety is a function of fatalities over capacity, flight hours and model service life. As such, planes that have been in production longer usually tend to become "more safe" (which is a self-fulfilling thing - notoriously unsafe planes eventually won't be sold anymore). See [1] for a short overview. As such, the 737NG - which had fatalities - is unlikely to be a contender, considering the much older A340 has had none.
