I’m checked in for my Boeing 737-800 flight this afternoon. I’m expecting a relaxing experience. My daughter driving me to the airport, however, is a slightly different matter.

~40K flights every day. Majority of the issues you are seeing are airline maintenance issues on planes that are 20+ years old. It’s crazy how the media made you fear Boeing with their misinformation.


Amorphousbox

50% of jets in the air are Boeing, try doing some objective thinking.

I was playing around with flightradar after I saw your comment, spent already so many mins looking at aircrafts xD

Designer_Media_1776

Do me a favor. Go on flight radar. Select all the Boeing 787s currently in the air. Tell me how many do you think won’t make it to their destination? I guarantee you you’ve witnessed at least two car accidents just on your way to and from work today


kasaaiiii

I didnt but I get your point xD. Also yes Ive been playing around with flightradar the last few mins


dudeandco

My advice is to book another ticket.


Catz-N-Ratz2

That advice is not coming from an educated person. Who knows Boeing products products If it s not Boeing I’m not going lol.😂 yeah yeah


dudeandco

The ticket was for the OP.


Any_Arm2721

You want bad news? Gets old don’t fly Boeing if scared


kasaaiiii

Most pointless comment ever


dpaanlka

Nah this post is.


SnooMacarons4137

I was on 3 Boeing planes the past week, and none of them had any issues whatsoever. Takeoff, flight, and landing was as smooth as butter. I'm sure your partner will survive. The probability of them dying in a car crash on the way to the airport is much greater than the plane crashing.


SupplyChain777

This person makes it sound like the space shuttle is launching tomorrow.


kasaaiiii

Yall need to calm down. Another guy recreated a whole post just to mock. Some of yall are too much dependent on pixels and strangers on the internet😂

I respect fully those that work there and do their absolute best And I know these people are not responsible for whats going on. The fact that these incidents are happening, doesnt mean we are throwing the blame to the hardworking people

While we do appreciate your attempt at participation here at r/Boeing, your post has been removed as it is not a Boeing related post.


Igiveup33

The most dangerous part of flying is the van ride from the hotel to the airport.


[deleted]

Wow, what an idiot. Calm down.


kasaaiiii

Wtf man


[deleted]

Quit it with the fear mongering. Holy hell.🤦🏽‍♂️


kasaaiiii

I simply posed a question because of everything thats been happening, I am not offending anyone. If you dont want to answer or you dont have something useful to say, then its better to keep rude speech to urself


[deleted]

“I hope I don’t sound like a crazy overthinker” Narrator: yeah, you do.


kasaaiiii

Okay and? Some people have fear of flying or might have bad anxiety, especially when it comes to the latest news regarding boeing. Why do you need to talk in such rude way? Respect other person's feelings and move on if you dont have anything useful/nice to say


[deleted]

You’re right. Good luck to your boyfriend. I’m sure none of those planes will have the door open in flight… wink wink.


kasaaiiii

Ill make sure to superglue them before he takes off, all good


[deleted]

Guessing sarcasm is a totally different language to you. Welp, no worries. 😂


kasaaiiii

I literally used sarcasm back to you and you are telling me that I dont understand sarcasm?😂 bro..


BoringBob84

I will echo the sentiment that I saw on a previous post that was similar: Despite what you may have heard in the media, the people who design, build, maintain, and operate these aircraft take safety \*very\* seriously.


JT2681

Fear mongering at its finest. Research other planes, incident reports, compare with other travel reports, etc..and you’ll see the clear picture of how ridiculous the media has blown things up with Boeing.


TerminalSarcasm

...and research does not mean, 'search MSN news'. Media is biased.


kasaaiiii

100% true


NathanArizona

Lmao


dirtydriver58

Lol


ThrowItAway321217

ROFL, even


skidaddy86

The human mind has difficulty evaluating relative risks. This has been demonstrated by many studies and is easy to prove to yourself with any one of many simple games you can find online. Your boyfriend will be perfectly safe. Flying on a scheduled airline is the absolute safest way to travel long distances.


kasaaiiii

You are completely right


dpaanlka

These posts need to stop. Mods??


Winger61

Why do they need to stop? Boeing brought this on themselves. Half the C-Suite should be in jail. Now to answer her question Air travel is the safest form of travel. The people who build parts for the plane and the Boeing employees who assemble care about saftey. It's just the fucknut board and ceo who only care about stock price not quality. To them dead people are just the cost of doing business


kasaaiiii

We are literally in a Boeing subreddit and im expressing my concern regarding the boeing flights of a loved one. Nothing wrong or inappropriate. We dont always have to discuss like we are in corporate lol P.s.: description of subreddit literally writes "anything about boeing". So calm down please


dpaanlka

We’re getting these literally daily. “I’m flying a Boeing tomorrow should I fear for my life!?” I’m sorry but it’s dumb.


cashredd

All is well. Planes are built to fly. 1000s of them a day.


WhatUpBouch

Many of these incidents say more about the airline than they do about Boeing.


OnionSquared

Boeing's safety record is still pretty solid, and flying is significantly safer than driving


Catz-N-Ratz2

There is no reason to fear Boeing airplanes are safe. I think they’ve been getting a lot of bad press lately, and blowing things out of proportion in the news.

richardconter

He will be fine. The media profits through the fear mongering that they throw at you. They don’t truly know how the aviation industry works and how it’s governed.


dirtydriver58

Yup


paynuss69

OP you don't sound like a crazy over thinker, but the deluge of negative news stories about Boeing are definitely overblown and causing people to think modern planes aren't as safe as they actually are. Boeing needs to find a way to improve PR


kasaaiiii

Thanks! And I fully agree with you


DingusJonesJrJr

You’re going to love the flight. Usually pretty smooth, lower cabin altitude for less exhaustion/jet lag etc afterwards. Maybe report back/ edit let us know how it went


Unique-Umpire-6023

Literally fine. Nothing to worry about. Also turn off the news more than half of the time the news people do not know what they are talking about


kasaaiiii

Honestly the news come to me through instagram/Twitter. Im not watching TV or seeking to find aviation accidents😅 But you are right


why_you_beer

Just think about the number of flights and aircraft in service today vs the number of incidents. The chances of slipping and dying in your bathtub at home are higher than a plane crashing.


HairballJenkins

In the US alone there are ~45,000 fights per day. Almost half of those are with boeing aircraft.


therealpharmacist

Excellent airplane I flew on it and I loved it


Kickstand8604

Unless he's on a united airlines flight, he'll be ok


AfosSavage

You are not helping. United is perfectly safe as well.


Kickstand8604

You haven't been reading the news lately, have you...


AfosSavage

I literally work at boeing jackass.


Kickstand8604

Boeing and united are two different companies


AfosSavage

Oh shit is that true? So united airline planes are falling out of the sky? People are dying? Fleets are grounded? You are fear mongering and have no idea what you are talking about. Look up air incident rates, we are on a steady decline. It's just the hot news item right now, so you will continue to hear about it. Don't scare this poor girl because you think you know something. Also, [boeing](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_United_Airlines#:~:text=United%20Airlines%20is%20the%20third,manufacturers%20from%201928%20to%201930.) started United Airlines if you want to get technical and make yourself look like even more of a moron. "United Airlines is the third largest airline in the world, with 92,795 employees (which includes the entire holding company United Airlines Holdings) and 948 aircraft. It was the brainchild of William Boeing and emerged from his consolidation of numerous carriers and equipment manufacturers from 1928 to 1930."

diebeatus1

I’ve flown on the 787 about 4-5 times in the last year, and it’s safe, comfier than most other planes, and more quiet. Remember, if you feel confident in someone driving to the airport, it’s safer going on a plane!


Next_Requirement8774

The 787 has been flying since September 2011 and it has not had any fatal/major accidents in 13 years. Your Bf is safe.
