Passengers Would Pay $150 More To Avoid Boeing Airplanes

when a person books a reservation on a flight,whether they use an airlines own website or something like expedia,the prices,the times and the type of equipment used by that carrier on that route is shown..boeing aircraft are used by almost all airlines, and have been for years,along with the airbus..regionals use the smaller jets,which are not boeing..i think a survey like the one mentioned is misleading,as most people just want to get fom point a to point b,whether vacation or business,when they need to be there,and they will not spend an additional $150 to fly on an airbus,which may or may not be used on the the route they plan to fly..this is a ridiculous survey..by the way, all of southwests aircraft are boeing 737,although i dont beleive they are using the max..

Complete garbage. Every day the commercial airline world does a "survey" and the result is always the same: passengers will not pay even a penny to avoid Boeing airplanes. That "survey" is better known as reservations and ticketing, and there's been no change in demand for aircraft seats based on their manufacturer.

I'd rather fly in an Embraer EJET. More legroom.

Total BS

Very,very smart people avoid Boeing Aircraft when traveling.

TO PAY or NOT TO PAY - that is the question. Responses to this squawk clearly indicate that some would pay a premium to fly Boeing and others would pay extra to avoid them. The reality is that we make our choice on many differing considerations and obviously perceived safety is one likely factor. Feeding into this 'safety awareness' is information we glean from the press, from comments on sites such as this and from fellow travelers etc. etc.
As a paying passenger I once flew Jakarta to London on Garuda Airways (national carrier of Indonesia)
it was frightening and shortly after they, together with all other Indonesian Carriers, were banned from flying into Europe on safety grounds. That ban was lifted years ago but I would still avoid them, even if it necessitated a premium payment. However, there are others who now speak very highly of them.
So, most of the time, we have a choice - it may incur a premium, but it is ours to make. The bottom line is that flying is statistically very safe and that is perhaps something we should acknowledge.

I would pay more than a $150 a flight not to fly on a Boeing MAX death trap.

Wait a sec - WHY would one NEED to pay more to fly on an Airbus? BOTH aircraft brands are currently in use and the aircraft type used depends on various factors not under the control of the pax, so if an airline assign either one to a particular route without affecting the price the passenger pays now, why would it be reasonable to ask them to pay more to book on a particular brand of aircraft? It just sounds like they are trying to set up a precursor to price gouging! No way!

It's a survey folks. You can't dispute the results but you can question the methodology. In this case maybe question the amount of factual data available on the relative safety of Boeing and Airbus in terms of human and hull losses over the decades?

And then what if an Airbus crashes? Drag L1011s out of the desert? Only fly on Russian airlines?

Only the Stupid and Mislead people... However, there are a great number of people who fall into either and manytime both categories!

Lots of postings from this Pro-Airbus source. Recurring themes, REMARKABLY like MH370 postings. Stay tuned for further clues.

Absolutely. They do people traveling or avoiding the Boeing 737 max. I've been in an airline pilot for 35 years. I won't get on that piece of shit max.

The Boeing engineer really screwed up on that MAX, Why do you think United canceled their orders on the MAX "piece of shit"

... and yet you are still safer flying on a Boeing with a drunk and blind cockpit crew of recruited DEI candidates, than to walk in Chicago's Southside after 8PM, where someone is shot every 3 minutes, and someone dies every 18 minutes! In fact, Boeings record is stellar compared to most Democrat cesspools. Consider yourself lucky to have Boeing airplanes to fly on!

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...due to arrogance and mismanagement.
