Kind of non-sequitur, but am I disconnected from reality if at this point I do not want to fly on a Boeing aircraft?

  It is really the 737 - not sure what is going on with the MAX design team - but it ain't good The 787 and 757 seem to have been stable platforms.

    I think you're mostly correct but while it's not been as bad as the Max, the 787 has a not-so-short list of controversies, starting with those electrical / battery fires early in the plane's life [1] and going through recently with stray tools, fuselage issues, etc. [2] Not an engineer or a pilot, but like the poster above, I'm a regular person wondering how concerned to be on at least two Boeing platforms these days.

    I'm a firm believer that the 777 is the last Good Aircraft that Boeing made.
