   RR> That may be the case, but the issue itself may not be Boeings

   As it is a workhorse, this may entirely be the case.   
       
   RR> How was it maintained the airlines from delivery to issue?   
       
   Also correct and I wish to add that as far as I understand, there are no   
   strategic nor structural outstanding issues with Delta's maintenance   
   procedures.

   Also correct, but in the case of the 737 there has been more than one red flag   
   in past years.   
       
   As for the DC10, I've flown several DC10's ever since the very early 70-ties   
   and never felt unsafe in them. Though here it's not just the Chicago crash of   
   1979. There had already been the Turkish Airlines DC10 in Ermenonville which   
   preceded it and then followed the same year by the Air New Zealand crash at   
   Mt. Erebus and the WesternAirlines crash at Mexico City landing at a closed   
   runway. Bad luck because the Erebus and Mexico City crashes also were not   
   technical but happened too close to eachother prompting the flight ban.   
       
   I think it was a reliable aircraft.
