“I’m not surprised they’re having serious troubles now. Too bad, really, but McDonnell-Douglas owns the problems.”
That’s what happens when you let a has been company take over management of the most successful airline manufacturer.
Boeing could save money by getting rid of all their American citizen (white) engineers and staff and contracting out to an India contractor.
Great idea!
Boeing certainly knows how to discourage whistle blowing.
But Chicago had an Opera house. Dallas didn't. (Dallas learned from that. They built an Opera house and now have opera.)
Please elaborate, because Boeing will deliver hundreds of these this year. Is this what you meant by “dropping like flies”?
I was being sarcastic. The aircraft is very reliable.
Thank you for the details.
“But who watches the custodians? “
Whoops! I should have known!
Speaking of gaslighting, nice regurgitation of talking points. How many pilots that went for training on the 737 MAX8 were involved in crashes?
As per American Airlines pilots’ union. Boeing ignored even THEIR (the American pilots’) suggestions for improvements.

“Shame on you… we’re going to call you out on it,” Tajer said of Boeing Thursday ahead of a Federal Aviation Administration meeting of international aviation regulators in Fort Worth, Texas. “That’s a poisoned, diseased philosophy.”
Tajer also told CNN American Airlines pilots made several suggestions on how to improve the safety of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) in a meeting with Boeing in November 2018, a few weeks after the October crash of Lion Air flight JT 610 in Indonesia and months before the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March.
When asked if the Ethiopian crash might have been prevented if Boeing had taken action on the pilots’ suggestions, Tajer said, “I think that’s a fair conclusion.”
