I filter flights by airplane manufacturer now. Fuck Boeing. What rot.
I worked for Airbus for 3-4 years. I wasn't wildly happy with how many things are done, but when I read news about Boeing I routinely think "woah, that's wild".
I only get on a Boeing plane if there is no other option. It's not a case of voting with your wallet in an "I won't buy a phone without a headphone jack" situation, but a serious safety matter. Many of their decisions (particularly the MCAS / MAX8 fiasco) are absolutely insane. They might rectify whatever they want, but as semi-informed passengers I don't see how we can trust that the current board is prioritising safety over shareholders...
I fly Boeing because if we crash and die my family gets paid
If something happens where I don't die, and I get to join a suit, either way I won't have to work the next day so it's cool
