Now in FRA. Got here on a B777 from SFO. Awesome plane and still in one piece.

Looking forward to my next segment in an hour.
That had to be one long-ass flight. Not like crossing the Pacific, but still.

I 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.
HR policies have fk-all to do with flying safety.

Your position is that black mechanics aren't as good as white mechanics. That's just ridiculous.

or get dei out of it…seems things were going pretty good till that got started.
I'm sure you're aware at what happened to the Harvard president, right?

Now they have uncovered another plagiarist at Harvard,, the head of the DEI department!!

It's obvious to me that *somebody* went looking in all the right places. And I think that those two women
were not vetted properly on purpose so that Harvard can have the politically correct people in visible positions.

They have done so much damage to Harvard. Cost them $billions, in the long run.

About 11 hours.

Longest flight I was ever on was ORD-HKG and then returning HKG-EWR (about 16 hours each). Flies right over the North Pole - cool in more ways than one.

Sunday I have TLV-ATH and then Monday ATH-FRA-EWR and then home. After almost 2 weeks away, I have to say I'm looking forward to it.

Or some misogynistic racist pigs have started a hit campaign against any black women in prestigious roles. Mmmm I wonder which it is ๐Ÿค”

Ijit, they receive profit from a clean safety record, regardless of regs. These recent two events cost them big time, a previous Boeing exec has stated publicly he won't fly the Max, he'd rather stay on the ground and wait for another aircraft.

As usual Bamboozle is bamboozled.
My god can you be this dumb, that’s why they will pay the price for putting profit over safety, it’s gonna take more than a few die hard Boeing fans to paper over the cracks in their shambolic self inflicted safety record ๐Ÿ’ฉ for brains.
If your an airline are you going to buy Boeing planes knowing what we know about their tendency to fall apart in mid flight, more importantly what your potential customers know about it.
“Capitalism will eat itself” ( if devoid of regulation is a truism )

kev bamboozle, you're saying what I was saying, you're making my point for me. The cost to their reputation is no doubt well in the millions and creeping up everyday. That cost and therefore the incentive to reduce that cost (being a reputation for being unsafe) is what drives QA regardless of goobermint meddling. This is an excellent case study for the free market and aircraft manufacture is the best example of how goobermint meddling in QA is pointless, and worse than that, damaging.

Now, prepare yourself bamboozle I'm about to impart upon you some real deep thinker voodoo:

Aircraft are extremely complicated pieces of equipment.

Got it?

Boeing has an army of engineers refining and analysing every piece of that aircraft, whole studies are done on which screw, where and why, what type of thread locker, whether it should be thread locker or anti-seize, tightening torque, repeatability of tightening torque, how many times a screw may be used before it has to be replaced. Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electrical what type of electrical connection works in A situation but not in B situation. Setting up tests for the landing gear, what test, what criteria.

And now you want to create another army of goobermint bureauRats to police QA?

They can't do it, they can't keep up with the rapidly evolving technologies, they don't have the information nor ability to move quickly they can only stifle. They can only add cost and use up resources.


@Mott-The-Hoople
Why are YOU defending BOEING's obligations to make sure their planes are safe? The transport sec is supposed to know about every fukking BOLT on every fukking plane? Just shows what an absolute assshole you are.
If Buttie was repub, you would be screaming about Boeing but since he is dem, HANG THE QUEER.

That is very possible.
But I think it's more the case that ^someone^ wants the institution run by qualified individuals.

That's admirable

Now it seems they found the door that flew off was MISSING 4 screws, not loose but never installed. Boing, Boing, gone๐Ÿ™‚

I saw that, the bolts were never installed.

The two companies that are involved in this, a manufacturer and an installer are in deep trouble
but Boeing - in the end,,, is the most responsible.
