Hmm, looks like a smaller plane than the jumbo jets we're all used to.
Seats 95 passengers.
I'm not a plane expert, but I think 737s fit more.
That's the plane I was referring to.
737s are barely bigger than this and not jumbo jets, they are narrow bodies.
737s are also kind of funny to pick since they are kind of notoriously small (this was one of the causes for the max crashes, Boeing needed to lengthen the nose gear and move the engines significantly higher on the wing in order to fit them, a normal 737NG with CFM56 engines, the bottom of the engine is about 2 feet off the ground only).
CRJs are smaller, but they are still commercial jets that fit tons of people.
The joke didn't land (pun intended,) but I think they were referring to all the 737 MAX issues that have completely ruined Boeing's reputation
A 737 is notably not a 747
You must live in a big city and not fly a lot of places then… Flights from where I live are nearly always that size or smaller.
