It makes no difference to the average consumer. They see 'Boeing' having an accident, they immediately think, "another problem? this airline sucks!".

But it cuts much deeper than that because the problem with Max involved the lives of hundreds of people. Whichever way you look, this adds an enormous dose of fuel to an ongoing fire.

Was going to object that Boeing is an airplane manufacturer, but now I'm not sure if that was intentional.

Make the ticket cost $10 less than a non Boeing plane and no one will care.

Not denying that issue with the 737 Max was probably negligent.

However, as you say average people don't care, but then why are headlines putting Boeing 737 in it. It's just going to add to confusion.
