Even as bad as Boing is, (it’s not THAT bad) flying is ridiculously much safer than driving your own vehicle. Whether you count it by traveller-trips or traveller-miles.
Decades ago, Benny Hill did a routine: “Boeing is a bad name for an airplane. Why not high flyer or speedy traveler? Boing sounds like a piece done dropped off. Boing!” Now all the comedians are doing it.
Boeing does not build the passenger compartments of the 737-9 Max. A subcontractor, Spirt Aero Systems, builds them in Wichita KS, then sends them by rail to Seattle where Boeing employees assemble the planes
Yeeeeeeee, and, of course, I’m one of those people, probably like most, who has no idea on what type of aircraft I am boarding. La di da deee daaaaaaaa, …………..oh, you say this is the crashy plane. Well crap………………………Hey, do they serve snacks on this flight?

Fly Boeing, get a free “indestructible” iPhone that you can watch fall 16,000 feet yourself on the way down. Offer void if you drop it 3 feet or less.

The plane you’re in may crash, but at least your luggage will be okay, because our incompetent ground crew loaded it on the wrong flight.
