"If it's a Boeing, I'm not going."

I already look for these planes and will schedule my itinerary around avoiding them.

You can try, but the point is that will only get harder, and it’s not like the economic pain will be felt in any specific sense. You’ll just fly less.

Is this a US thing? In the EU and i've found as long as avoid Ryanair everyone else is using Airbus.

Southwest and United have the most, so yeah.

Americans fly the most out of any country though, so it’s unsurprising America also buys the most planes.

United is absolutely horrible, so I’ve been actively avoiding them for over a decade.

Southwest was my go to, but I’ll happily fly a crappier non-boeing airline if it’s an option.

I don't care for any airline, but while I see your disgust for United expressed often I haven't had any issues with them. Granted I only fly them a few times a year. Either they've improved a lot or I have been lucky!
