The 737 is hardly sketchy.
Um, there has been about 5000 Boeing 737 delivered, and 75 hull losses with fatalities. Isn't that about 1.5% of all 737's ever made that have crapped out? Sounds like a very commendable inspection program, IMHO. After all, we're talkin' about NUMBER of planes, not passenger miles.
They're not older, they're more mature.
Fuel line leak? Oh no, where have I heard that before?
