nice american quality....

Your country can't even produce commercial aircraft of any use I'm sure.

You couldn't be paid to get on the most widely used aircraft in the world. Ok, but seems like a pretty heavy travel restriction you are placing on yourself.

@Taiwan

well when even Boeing employees are saying they wouldn’t put their families on those planes it makes me worried too

DEI will be that company’s biggest downfall.

If the planes landed safely without incident, then why would they close down the runways causing all those delays?

@Speed, it was quoted as a hydraulic fault, it could be a simple issue like a coupling that had come loose, or a split in a pipe, it could have come up with a low pressure warning light, as for closing the runway it might have had hydraulic oil spill down the run way whilst landing, and the run way probably needs to be washed or checked, the last thing you would want is another plane skidding off the runway

Ummm… so they successfully recognized a potential problem, and landed without incident or injury… and you’re saying THIS is why you won’t fly on that aircraft? I would say kudos to the pilots for being on top of their game.

And you do realize that nearly all Japanese airlines, including ANA and JAL, use Airbus and… you guessed it!… BOEING aircraft.

Sometimes a weakness is discovered in engineering, and must be corrected. But by and large, issues usually point to the maintenance crew…

Engineered to have redundant systems. Redundancy kicked in as intended. Move on....

Picture shows a max, Guam flights uses 737NG (for short runway performance)....main stream media....

There're the airplanes, and then there is the maintenance. Both of these airplanes took off from Japan. I imagine airplane maintenance, like car inspections, involves checking a lot of boxes, maybe boxes that don't seem much to matter to you or your immediate boss. So you end up checking the box without checking the thing the box refers to and then...

Why? The 737 has an excellent safety record.

Oh, I get it. You don't know the difference between a 737 and 737MAX.

Can you cite the sources where you've seen them say they wouldn't fly on a 737? Seems weird, being such a historically reliable aircraft.

I've only ever seen the negative Boeing employee comments about the 787 and 737MAX, which is understandable.

No one is accusing you of being very bright, but why advertise it?

Gotta’ die sometime.

Just think, if you DID, your family will be rich

I have flown to Guam countless times on Boeing 737 and other aircrafts UA uses and not once have I felt unsafe on their planes. It is great there were no injuries in addition to the plane landing safely.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one

Glad it was safely handled. That said so few passengers. When the price is high then expect fewer. Should be lowering the cost to fill the planes up.

and even then, the 787 at least seems to have an excellent overall safety record. Flown on one a few times and will again.

And so the 737 woes keep coming - maybe there's just something fundamentally flawed with that particular model...?

Ah, ok, 737max is the one you couldn’t pay me to fly on.

feel better now?

DEI will be that company’s biggest downfall.

Not clue one what you’re talking about (as per usual) regardless of what your relative with the ppl says.

Boeing just today pleaded guilty to a criminal fraud charge involving the 737Max.

346 people died in those two crashes a couple of years ago, so yeah, I ain’t flyin the 737 Max.

Someone else who doesn't know the difference between a 737 and 737MAX.

If you don't maintain the brake lines in your car, who's fault is it? Yours.

Another fliying US Boeing crap..

It does not please me to say that I have been watching Boeing decline for many decades. As a vital part of American commerce, seeing them go downhill is not something I enjoy. Myself, I blame the corporate beancounters. They are great if what you want is to maximize the quarterly company data, but not so great if you are trying to keep a great company flying high for the foreseeable future.
