I love the idea of Boeing trying to rename it the 737 SEO hide all of their other 737 plane issues.

@WainuiTrailerTrash @nikatjef Sorry, not sure how that extra b got onto the URL. Unfortunately, polls are the one type of post one can't edit on Mastodon.

Icarus (falling from the sky due to poor wing materials) seems appropriate...
