For people on this who are more knowledgeable about both recent incidents and perhaps any details about Boeing as an organization ... do the recent incidents make you skeptical of _all_ Boeing aircraft? Is it only later generations of the 737?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can this somehow be made a filter option when booking a flight? Like in a browser extension?
Heads up that tickets generally don't guarantee the plane you'll be on, they can change at any time for a bunch of different reasons.
Haha thanks to whomever shared this! I'm Shrey and I'm actually the guy who developed this site. I travel a ton (and run a travel company too!) and I kept having friends ask me how to avoid Boeing planes, so I figured i'd make this to help out. Hope y'all find it useful :)
Pretty sure you're still way more likely to die in a car accident and several other ways than on a Boeing flight. The fear around this is silly.

The details are still hazy but it does seem there was some actual supply chain and manufacturing issues with some of these planes. There's a few people that have done pretty nice deep dives on this, like https://heated.world/p/boeings-big-green-disaster .

That wasn't a deep dive. That was a terrible and biased article that takes a "Boeing should have only focused on the environment" BS. A piece of rag.
I think this twitter thread might provide a more objective take on the same types of content in the article: https://twitter.com/emorwee/status/1770833808222277890

I would expect someone who works in the industry to know that this website is extremely misleading. The process of airlines assigning airframes to routes is not deterministic and accurate data only exists within the airlines internal systems, which even then is subject to change right up to departure. The data you get in your feed that indicates airframe is just the most common model that has flown that route over the last 90 days.
Really wish people would stop building these websites.
This seems pretty useful for me. Out of habit, I have always checked whether I am flying an A320 or a 737 MAX when purchasing plane tickets. The information is usually buried in details, in small text.
