The sky is falling!

How long until we see AirBus trying to destroy an American business, which they've tried before.

The Boeing pile-on is getting very suspicious.

Taking a guess here, but I am pretty confident that blacks, as a demographic, are net positive over monies given to them by the government and federal taxes paid.

Or, at the least, pay the lowest tax rate as a group.

Global elites tramping on the publics right to travel. All their climate goals show 90% reduction in commercial air carrier aviation. Of course private jets remain okeedokee.

Industrial psy-ops on the airline industry.

What number is Boeing going to use after 797 ?

They might not last long enough to find out.

In the early 90's, I went on a tour of the Boeing plant at Ridley Park PA.
with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
During the tour, we were shown a 12 axis CNC Ultra Sound machine
that was used to inspect the composite panels of aircraft.
The guide told us that it was used it verify that every square centimeter
of every V22 Osprey Fuselage panel was perfect as per Government contract.
However the panels of the 777 were only subjected to random testing
once they have determined that they had perfected the composite layup.

That’s what Boeing gets for hiring guys like Samir “Sam” Salehpour.

Just another Iranian running a game on the caspers. Check his bank account in the Caymans when he shuts up.

I do not trust the carbon fiber fuselages either....remember, the hull of the Titanic mini-sub was carbon fiber

Boeing has a history of going after people who complain while not fixing the problems.

The 787 has had known barrel join issues for several years now.

The 777X has known problems with the structure and certification has been delayed from an initial target of 2020 to an estimated 2025.

Having a bit of a background in aircraft maintenance and also construction, my feeling is that even good, safe aircraft are not necessarily perfect.

And, sometimes components fail (which is why we have redundancy in design)

I've flown on every Boeing (707,720, 727,737,747,757,767,777 and even B-17) except for the 787, and I hope to do so before too long.

I think that awareness of "issues" is a good thing, and so are good faith efforts to control and minimize them.

Maybe some extra scrutiny is called for for all major A/C constructors, not just Boeing.

I do believe, however, that we should stop short of a feeding frenzy, as that could let the trivial get in the way of the potentially critical.
