Recent incidents involving Boeing aircraft, including panels and tires detaching mid-flight, have heightened concerns about air safety, leading to a significant impact on passenger confidence. Some travelers, previously apprehensive about flying, are now specifically avoiding Boeing planes, opting to re-book trips on different aircraft. Despite these fears, a former Boeing engineer expressed confidence in the safety of the 737 Max, one of Boeing's models under scrutiny. Meanwhile, Boeing is facing criticism for attempting to shift blame onto airlines for the malfunctions. The company's CFO recently outlined measures being taken to improve safety and reliability. Amidst these concerns, the nation's top aviation safety officials have reassured the public that flying in the United States remains safe, despite the ongoing investigation into Boeing and a series of high-profile incidents. This situation has led some passengers to resort to medication, prayer, and therapy to cope with their fears of flying on Boeing aircraft. Additionally, the FAA is considering route restrictions for United Airlines.
