Boeing has made over 5,000 737's, and one takes off or lands every five
seconds or so without incident. You'll be very safe on your trip.


Yet, AFAIK, no smoking gun for the supposed rudder hard-over crashes was ever
found. The retrofits were a based on a best guess, right?

Yes, but it was a very likely guess, as the parts that were involved
were consistently isolated to be the same. I think the only remaining
mystery was the original cause, but by modifying things presumably
whatever the original cause was would not have the same effect again.
