The age of the aircraft is more important than size. The data of manufacture is stamped in the doorway.

I got of a DC-9 when I saw the plane was 44 years old. I took another flight.

If it flew for 44 years, odds were that it would make the next few OK.

Over the last 20 years I've done a good amount of flying...much of it long distance.I'd say that at least 90% of the miles I've flown during that period have been in jumbos...747/777/A330/A380.You're right in suggesting that a 44 year old aircraft might be worth avoiding as I've succeeded in doing with my twin-aisle policy.
