- theodric 3y agoPoint of order, because this is HN and I get to be pedantic here: the 737 Max is cursed; the 737 and 737NG are proven good by their long track record of reliability through thousands of units produced and in service
- mulmen 3y agoThe 737NG has a known issue with the nacelles being insufficient to contain engine failures. This actually happened in 2018 and a woman was sucked out of the plane and died. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/faa-mandates-boeing-737ng-nacelle-changes-by-2028 https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/faa-mandates-boeing-737ng...
