More than 20 American Airlines pilots asked to be transferred to Boeing aircraft, “although this meant months of retraining and loss of earnings.” One pilot wrote that “he had refused to let any of his family take an A300 or A310 and had paid extra to take a circuitous route on holiday purely to avoid them.”

Hence the expression. "If it isn't a Boeing then I'm not going".

I remember the 2002 accident, many initially thought it was a terrorist attack as it was close to 911.

One of the references cited.
