Scary, huh?
Expect more of these. There is a decreasing number of staff capable of building and maintaining complex systems, at salaries that corporations in the aviation industry are willing to pay.
I did too! Work at Renton?
Sabotage
LOL, same here :)
Welcome to DEI Airlines. No guarantees you’ll make it.

Counterfeit hydraulic fluid or components in the supply chain?
Or an airplane software update?

I drive now.

“Work at Renton?”
Charleston for a bit. I was there during the Max 8 fiasco.
I worked Quality Engineering at Renton and at Tinker AFB OK on B-52. KC-135 re-engine and E-3A programs. Old school.

Thanks, but no. When we get into aircraft incidents we are delving into statistical analysis and it’s not something I care to research. As an example, over the last 10 years, Boeing doubled Airbus in incidents, 198 to 99.
