From the company that brought you cargo doors blowing out and sucking people out of 747s, defective 737 rudders that killed hundreds, half-assembled components disabling 787s resulting in near-accidents, ladders left in fuel tanks, 777s with defective fuel tanks causing fuel to freeze and killing the engines, bolts missing from the part that attaches the tail to the airplane, and 737s that are addicted to eating shit and killing hundreds, comes a new twist on a classic oopsie: surprise fuselage detachment!
I have never done this in my life, and I've taken an average of maybe 6 flights a year. Maybe I'll write down the flight number but that's it. To me the plane model is something I see in the seat-back pocket and think "hmm, a real plane model, I assume it will fly just fine".
A large percentage of people can't afford to travel like that, and they definitely don't have hundreds of dollars to choose different flights or even fly completely different trajectories because of the safety specs of the aircraft.
Even if I did check the aircraft, it would mean nothing to me without countless hours familiarizing myself with commercial aircraft and their safety specifications and records.
This "caveat emptor" train of thought is garbage.
I guess it works differently outside my country. For me when I search for flights on a trip platform , the flight model and manufacturer are both mentioned clearly and the cost is similar to all flights on the day. So it's pretty easy to boycott Boeing for me.
This is all good, but I'm sure you understand that if the boycott scales up to a noticeable level (which would be the point), it will quickly become unaffordable for most people to participate.
