I have a 7M8 YUL-LAX flight at the end of July. Honestly, I couldn't care less what plane I am on as long as I get to depart within a reasonable vicinity of what is scheduled and I do not lose my exit row seat. I would rather take the 7M8 in the exit row than be stuck on an A320 and lose my seat. In the exceeding minuscule chance that I am on a plane that goes down, at least it will be a fairly quick and/or instant death. One more crash in the near future and this plane gets grounded permanently, so the odds of me being on that flight are pretty low.

I'm sure I come of as a bit macabre, but I'd be curious to know what percentage of people who flew the 7M8 did not die in one of the two tragic accidents. I flew on it twice without incident. In the last year alone, I have had more near-death experiences in my 30 mile commute in LA than I care to recount.
