I agree, but I do not have access to all the data.

However, it shows a huge decrease in accident rates and fatalities over the last 60 or so years. This tells me that todays designs are relatively safe in comparison to earlier designs, and Boeing is either doing a much better job nowadays than in the earlier designs, or the pilots and ATCs are enormously better, or some combination of both.

But any way I look at it, Admiral Beez's question, re
Admiral Beez said:
Is it truly that difficult to make high quality aircraft and still make a healthy profit? Boeing did exactly that for decades before the MD merger.

does not apply relative to quality (or safety).
 
Two things would have changed Boeing's fortunes.

First, have Boeing disclose the necessity and the addition of MCAS in the 737 Max series and institute training and simulator updates specific for this type, rather than the mgmt and sales guys sneakily trying to maintain the legacy 737 NG training/sims. Yes, this would have put Boeing at a competitive disadvantage to the Airbus A320neo with regards to their customers' acquisition and training costs, but that's what you get for trying to stretch out a nearly sixty year old aircraft. Boeing would need to lower 737 Max prices to offset its customers' higher on-boarding costs.

Second, have Boeing ensure that their aircraft are assembled correctly, including checking that the bolts on its 737 Max door plugs are installed and torqued to spec.

The firm hid details from the regulator and pilots which led to two fatal crashes, a report finds.

That's it. Do these two things and Boeing and the Max program will remain highly regarded.

Boeing Whistleblowers Keep Mysteriously Dying

Boeing 737 MAX aircraft has a rather disturbing record of accidents, with two of them resulting in numerous fatalities. One 737 MAX crashed in Indonesia nearly six years ago, in October of 2018, killing all 189 passengers and crew on board. On March 10, 2019, another 737 MAX, this time operated...

You'll note that my post you quoted was made before the second one had died.
 
It seems Boeing has trouble with the 787 again, FAA is looking into inspections of wing joint area that are in the ducumentation but were never made
