I worked on the design of critical flight systems on the Boeing 757, and I'm particularly happy to fly on 757s.

Knowing how the airplanes are designed and built made me a much less anxious flyer.

Would you buy your family a ticket on a 777 Max?

The Boeing aircraft with recent notable safety issues is the 737 Max 8. Not any 777 variant.

Just to be pedantic, the 757 is not a variant of the 777.
