Southwest is not just all-in with 737s, they have an excellent safety record flying 737s.

It’s an interesting question. Something seems clearly rotten at Boeing related to their recently designed 737 variants. Does the rot extend to older variants of the airframe? It has historically been considered very capable and reliable… the U.S. military still uses it to fly VIPs around the world.

It's a deep cultural rot that has apparently taken over in the 2010s, not a physical rot with older variants. There is no more of the classic Boeing engineering culture.

Read these emails and chats from Boeing employees in charge of safety and compliance, who brag to each other about pulling a "Jedi mind trick" on the regulators and how they deserve to get paid more for all the money they're saving the company.
