History also tells us that after the rudder issues, the 737 went on to become the safest airplane in history.


Not the safest. One of the Airbuses (A350?) has never had a fatality.


That is not a very exclusive club.

Airbus A380, Boeing 717, Boeing 787, Bombardier CRJ700, Airbus A340. And I'm pretty sure there are more.

Let's put it in perspective. Boeing has built over ten thousand 737s. Airbus has produced just 265 A350s.

Heck, at the moment Boeing crossed 265 737-MAX-8s in production, they might very well have had zero fatalities as well :)
