I flew that Aloha 737 over 100 hrs I am sure before Aloha got it from us. Mostly over FL330. We had an incident where the crew got low landing at ONT and hit high voltage power lines and diverted to LAX. The power lines caught their landing gear causing faults that caused an overun. Reinforcement to the belly of that ac might have kept the aircraft intact with the upper skin torn off.
I always trusted Boeing aircraft so stayed with them for 25years with no major problems and about 16,000 hrs in Boeing aircraft. I flew the MD80 for a bit also.
