DEI maintenance or construction staff at peak performance?
What’s the big deal? You always have extra pieces when the job is finished.
I wonder if there were union work rules at play concerning just who was allowed/not allowed to perform the task of bolt insertion?
The plane/ panel went in for maintenance and the bolts were not put back when it was reassembled.
This was a worker/ repair process error and not a defect in the plane. If true, that should go better for Boeing.
Another article seemed to say workers for the air carrier were responsible.
“You always have extra pieces when the job is finished.”
‘Most everything is over-engineered.
At least it used to be............
Anyone else think that the Feds already have this “in hand”?
What I can anticipate is that fewer flights will be allowed. Even if travelers are willing to take the risk, the government might limit air travel in various ways.
Will Pfizer need to roll out a clot shot for aircraft?
Very big deal for me.
My daughter was flying home from Australia the night the door blew off. I was up all night worrying whether she was on a Boeing plane.
All air travel is too CO2 intensive.
Trump is rascist and colluding with Ruzzians with Tucker.
Who needs bolts when Boeing has the most woke, diverse staff in the aviation world?
The 737 is an excellent design, even the door plug which blew out. The problem is quality control in the fabrication process of a most excellent aircraft.
In addition the 737 Max was a most excellent aircraft with a bad computer system that caused two crashes.
A friend of mine an ex Air Force Pilot and 737 airline captain now retired explained it to me very simply:
Computer 2
Pilots 0
It should also be noted that both those crashes were third world airlines. First world airlines had also encountered the computer problem and superior pilots coped with it. However, those two pilots in those third world airlines should have never been flying against a rouge computer program. They were inferior pilots. They are also innocent pilots. No where in their training is a chapter that says, today the computer in your aircraft will try to kill you.
I’m glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that.
Coffee hurts when you cleanse your sinuses with it upon laughing.
I have learned you have to be even more careful eating popcorn. At least coffee is liquid.
Hard boiled eggs and blueberry muffins are also a mistake when laughing.
What no one is talking about is the WARNINGS that the aircrew received on the pressurization. If we only had the cockpit voice recording… What were the maintenance squawks that were ignored? The aircrew became “heroes” because they saved the plane and passengers. It would be interesting to see the report on what the aircrew did with the warnings they received and previous flight aircrew. We are experiencing the beginning of third world countries with the DEI in the cockpits of our aviation industry. The warnings in that aircraft should have been investigated… but, they weren’t and here we are today.
Bolts are expensive, doods!
Last time I went to the hardware store for bolts I almost blew a plug.
I did a job where a 14 story building (about 4 years old) had to be torn down. I mentioned to one of the managers in the process of destroying it how it can be the small details that mess things up - like this one guy not putting epoxy on the end of rebar as it was cut. (The rebar was rusting away).
The manager said “Except it wasn’t just that one guy that didn’t do his job. His supervisor wasn’t doing HIS job. The company inspector wasn’t doing HIS job. And the city inspector wasn’t doing HIS job!”
Ironic part was, it was a building that was built and owned by some construction union, and the rent was supposed to go to help cover their retirement funds.
Re: 6 - well, didn’t Gomer have some extra parts left over when he put together the car in Andy’s office?
Plane Had Missing Bolts.
Those that put the door plug in have the bolts!
They could not have missed having 4 bolts laying around!
There is even an email from a maintenance crew with photo of the bolts missing.
They knew so why was it not reported?
