  „United, which has 136 737-900ER aircraft, expects the inspections "to be completed in the next few days without disruption to our customers."” And that’s United only. They were manufactured for over 10 years.

    The point is Boeing doesn’t even make this aircraft anymore. It’s like doomsday apple because the iPhone X has a battery defect. as sad as it is, the loss of life doesn’t actually change the value of the company because flying is dangerous and will always. I mean for God sakes Beings that can traverse solar systems also crash and nobody really doubts that only their existence

      Why does 'not even make this aircraft' matter even 1%? How is that relevant? People are ACTIVELY flying these aircrafts by the thousands each day. It's these people, these human beings, that are to be saved from a potential crash. Not Boeing, not the manufacturer.
