800 and 900 are Max, yes?

I’m not really that familiar with the different models.

Here’s what I found looking it up - dunno if it’s accurate but probably
“The 737 MAX 7, MAX 8, and MAX 9 are intended to replace the 737-700, -800, and -900 respectively”

So with the tens of thousands of flights each day, how many non-fatal equipment incidents have occurred each day historically? Is the number higher these days, or are they just being reported in the news more (and people freaking out more)? I really want to know.
To: SaveFerris
It must not have been a Max. The title shows 737-900 which uses a standard CFM 56 engine. If it was a Max, it would have been designated 737-9 MAX, which uses the CFM LEAP engine.
To: SaveFerris
>800 and 900 are Max, yes?<
No. They were both in operation years before the Max came out.

Yes thank you. I had just looked.
That CFM 56 engine seems to be a pretty good engine.
IIRC it’s what the TACAMO planes we’re upgraded with years ago?
I saw them flying out of Tinker last time I was there a few years ago

Introduced in 2000 you have to wonder at the age of this particular aircraft, once again I think this is a issue that is wholly airline maintenance related rather than Boeing.
To: T.B. Yoits
Thanks for that good explanation.

I accept that Boeign has managment problems in terms of quality control, but I start to wonder if any deliberate sabatoge has gone on, on the production lines.

Boeing 737 Max engine issue will take up to a year to fix, embattled company reveals- - -
Jet engines, their components, their housings, are naturally vulnerable to physical objects (usually birds), noise, vibration, harshness, cold air, and heat.
“Composite” parts are especially vulnerable.
And, “composite” parts tend to let us know, where they are not durable, not reliable, and should be replaced by parts consisting of more durable material.
That (”then, let us use the durable parts”), is eclipsed by executive, financial, and marketing bosses.

These kinds of things should be making everyone nervous about flying........
In 2019, US air carriers reported 31 serious injuries and 38 fatalities, according to the DoT. In 2020, the latest year on record, there were 17 injuries and 26 deaths; as noted, most of these were in on-demand air taxis.
Forty percent of all air travel deaths in this century happened in 2001, the year of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
There were 39,508 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2021 in which 42,939 deaths occurred. This resulted in 12.9 deaths per 100,000 people and 1.37 deaths per 100 million miles traveled.
So walk then. …
Better yet, stay home altogether…
In 2021, 7,388 pedestrians were killed – a 13% increase from 2020 – and more than 60,000 pedestrians were injured nationwide.

Dude, I’m an AF vet too, but don’t go throwing statistics at me. I know everything that you shared, but you’re being condescending.

Another passenger said that they heard a 'loud boom' shortly into the flight. "Loud booms" shortly after take off? That will get your attention...
