If I book a flight I will definitely try to avoid flying Boeing. If there's an alternative comparable flight with an Airbus, even if it's a bit more expensive, I will book it instead.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who takes Boeing's reputation into account here.

Counter-anecdote: for long haul international flights I seek out the B787 dreamliner because of how comfortable it is.

The question is ultimately whether it changes broad consumer behavior. No doubt it does for a few, but for most I imagine it simply doesn't weigh as high as cost or convenience
