The elite ruling classes are waging a war on common air carrier (Part 121 operations) air travel for the masses. They don’t want you flying anymore. They can smell your Walmart stink all the way at the other side of the airport reserved for part 135 operations enjoyed by the elite class and government fleets of aircraft for their exclusive use.

This is likely a maintenance issue due to a lack of skilled technicians. The problem goes beyond the airline industry and is only going to get worse. The Millennial Slump.

This is starting to seem more like outright sabotage / enemy action

Selective media reporting.

Wow, this is starting to look a lot like the end of Atlas Shrugged.

Well, the left wants people not to be free to travel, to stay put.

Since they cannot legislate or regulate it, they can make it so dangerous that people give it up willingly.

The 777 has had very few incidents and is one of the safest airliners.

Notable incidents include one being shot down over Ukraine, one being flown manually into the ground just short of the runway in San Francisco (by famous captain Wee Tu Lo and first officer Sum Ting Wong), one that had its transponder turned off and flew out to sea ten years ago, and a fuel starvation crash due to the Rolls Royce engine design.

The San Francisco crash shows how strong the 777 is as there is video of the plane cartwheeling down the runway and there were only three fatalities. They were ejected from the plane and one of them was alive until being run over by the rescue vehicles. No one died in the London fuel starvation crash.

The 737 is much, much older as its first flight was about 30 years before the 777, and much of the 737 design was lifted from the late 50’s vintage 707.

Maybe it is indicative of a general downward trend in aviation maintenance.

DING! DING! DING! DING!

But don't expect THAT to be reported or investigated...let alone re ATC. /s

At any moment, there are thousands of airplanes from different manufacturers in the sky. Thousands. And as soon as they are delivered - just like the cars we drive - things start deteriorating. Fortunately, very, very few people die in airplane accidents (compare that to deaths in auto accidents). Why? Because airplanes are rigorously tested during certification. Cars do not come even close to the rigor applied to airplanes during the certification process. So instead of going all paranoid, folks should keep in mind that things wear out on airplanes also. And that is normal.

I think someone with media power is shorting boeing.

The news is concentrating on Boeing mechanical failure returns. How many Airbus returns have there been over the same period over the same number of flights? More, less, the same? What were the return numbers 5 years ago and 10 years for Boeing and Airbus for comparison’s sake. Just trying to determine how much of this is attributable to modern day Boeing production flaws and how these incidents relate to the historical norms and compare to the other airline manufacturer

Normally I’d agree with your comment, but with the whistleblower’s alleged suicide midstream in giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company that he brought, I tend to doubt that story. I believe I heard Boeing stock value dropped three billion dollars after the suicide story broke. So I think a lot of people and money is very skeptical of that story.

I agree. This was not a Boeing problem at all. Boeing delivered that aircraft 23 years ago! It has flown safely for 23 years!

It was up to the airline to keep it airworthy for the last 23 years.

“”one being flown manually into the ground just short of the runway in San Francisco””

Didn’t it make it to the end of the runway and the landing gear hit the ILS equipment on the way down? Looked like he was going into the water?

Yes, the pilots didn’t know what the heck they were doing!

I believe that the landing gears hit the sea wall, so they probably did take out some of the ILS equipment. Google maps show them poking out of the water ahead of the seawall.
