Silly press going after "engagement". This is a 20 year old plane and the maintenance isn't Boeing's fault until proof to the contrary. Nice conspiracy theory

Silly press going after "engagement".
This is a 20 year old plane and the maintenance isn't Boeing's fault until proof to the contrary.
Nice conspiracy theory though: maybe Boeing is sponsoring the coverage for all these old airframes having accidents so people like me will point out it's probably not their fault and thus inadvertently cover up the incidents that are Boeing's fault...
- bluGill 3y agoIt is a 30 year old plane. 20 years is the expected safe lifespan.
- ceejayoz 3y agoThere are plenty of 30 year old 737s flying around. Number of flight hours and decompression cycles (notably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243) are more important, and "safe" varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; it's why places like Senegal have a lot of hand-me-down planes.
