@mott-the-hoople saidI flew on a Max 9 this morning.
yes, airline safety is his responsibility.
Are you defending his inaction?
Thanks to Pete, the screws all held.
I saw him on the tarmac with a screwdriver.
@mott-the-hoople saidNow in FRA. Got here on a B777 from SFO. Awesome plane and still in one piece.
stupid is as stupid does…
Looking forward to my next segment in an hour.
@kmax87 saidYeah it might work for McDs but if your bldg tin cans that people fly through the sky at great speed it has to be safety and quality control first and the profits will follow.
Depends who you listen to, but Boeings troubles started when they took over McDonnell Douglass and then the McDonnell Douglass sales and marketing culture took over Boeing.
Also Boeing CEO David Calhoun is a disciple of Jack Welsh who took GE to great heights before destroying it. Welsh's brand of corporate greed is profit over everything, which is great for shareholders fo ...[text shortened]... tion and great products that make great companies, not hype, cost cutting and financial engineering.
It’s another example of uncontrolled capitalism eating itself, I would fly anything with the word Boeing on it for a long time, if ever.
@kevcvs57 saidIf you think Airbus is any less controlled by profit motive, you're extremely naive.

That they've done better QC than Boeing over the last few years is a function of the latter's poor management, not a function of economic theory.
-Removed-It's a cycle. Boeing is down now, but one would figure they'll eventually right the ship. Boeing and Airbus have traded places as the top dog a number of times and the cycle will likely continue.
As far as QA, even with all of Boeing's problems, flying is extremely safe, much safer than any other mode of transportation. With all the problems, there hasn't been a single commercial aviation death in the US in over 15 years, IIRC.
@sh76 saidPressure cabin doors don’t fly off because of poor business sense, nose wheels don’t fly off because of poor business sense. Sorry but that only happens because of a lack of production line quality control and overly tight maintenance budgets.

It’s because they were allowed to regulate themselves and put profit over safety.
If your still flying Boeing you must be some kind of adrenaline junkie
Try to grab an aisle seat and keep your seatbelt on at all times

===If your still flying Boeing you must be some kind of adrenaline junkie===
On the off chance that you're being serious, look it up. Flying on a Boeing is safer than any method of non-flying transportation; especially per mile.
If flying on a Boeing is being an adrenaline junkie then walking from place to place is skydiving without a parachute.

@sh76 saidI guess the deteriorating conditions, operative and quality control is lost on you.

You try to back up your assertion based on how things have been previously, before this dei bullshyt.
Its just a matter of time unless policies are changed.
@sh76 saidWell you could always keep to the pavement and only cross on a green light just as you could not fly Boeing, both strategies will improve your survival chances and the second one might make Boeing rethink their business strategy.
