Great video. I've got about 9000 hours flying the 737. I still can't believe how reliable they are overall. 25 + years ago, when I was flying 727s we had all sorts of minor issues, but the 73 (that is how the airline people refer to it) has been very reliable and economical. In fact, the NG (Next Generation) 737s hold as many folks as an old 727-200 and burn half the fuel.
It is an excellent airplane that has accumulated millions of hours of flight time. They all have their issues from time to time, but with the total number of moving parts, the reliability factor is outstanding.
I think Boeing is producing 35/month or so right now which is amazing considering the complexity of these planes.
Thanks Charlie.
