I liked the 737-300 up to the -800 series
NOT Max
EXCEPT for that vertical stabilizer valve thing - they fixed that long ago
I flew to Connecticut for software training - that day USAir 427 went down
The pilots and passengers never stood a chance - very sad đâšď¸đŚđ

Was it yesterday that a FedEx Boeingâs front landing gear didnât deploy? How can a company get this bad this fast? That FedEx plane was about 10 years old. Can't blame that on Boeing, but on FedEx maintenance.
This 737-300 is at least 15 years old and maybe older. The 737-300 was built from 1979 to 1990. Again, a maintenance issue, not a design flaw.

Obviously that scene was pre-9/11.

You need to bone up on your math. 1990 was 34 years ago. I know it seems just like yesterday.

“I wonder if maybe Air Senegal is skimping the maintenance”
That’s probably the cause but there’s a campaign against Boeing going on now so you won’t hear much about that possibility.

From the poorly written article:
Both incidents are the latest in a series of slip-ups for Boeing
Journalists are stupid. Once again, Operations and Maintenance problems are on the owner/operator, not the manufacturer.

Again, a maintenance issue, not a design flaw. One might like to think that the supposedly smart people on this forum would get that.

I think people just want to pile on Boeing, and Boeing has certainly given them ample reason to do it.
That said, one might think this is a concerted effort from the Media to put a knife in Boeing the way stories are written now.
Rational people who understand aviation fully understand that every mishap that befalls an aircraft is not a design flaw. The majority (probably, the vast majority) of those mishaps are NOT caused by design flaws introduced by DEI engineers or poor management or construction.
Most aviation mishaps are the result human error or negligence ranging from pilot error, to maintenance error, to carrier policy or administration error.
Boeing has made themselves a rich target, and rightly so, and I think it has become a form of entertainment to ridicule and denigrate them. But it doesn't make the underlying reality any different.

Boeing does not fly or maintain aircraft!

The plane is ten years old. Boeing does not do maintenance.
