Why would an isolated engine fire cause so much of the air travel to be shut down?
Pete Bootyjuice is actually blaming global warming for these failures.
It’s obvious now this administration wants airplane accidents for whatever reason.
To disembark is a perfectly good word.
And neither Airbus nor Boeing made the engine ...
And neither Airbus nor Boeing nor (GE|RR) maintained the engine.
I am glad to see some rational people in here keeping the mob in check.
You know, there have been a lot of issues lately, and it seems that a disproportionate share of them have involved United airlines. Anyone else notice that?
Really! Shows how stupid the leftie media is.
How dare you interrupt the anti-Boeing narrative.
Any Boeing execs carrying torches seen running away from it?
Exactly. The media whats to try to pin ANY aircraft issue to Boeing.
I primarily fly SWA and JetBlue. I know on SWA I’m gonna be on a 737 and most if my recent flights have been on a 737 MAX. Most of my JetBlue flights have been on A320s. Not once have I heard any chat about the safety of the plane by any passenger and nearly full or full flights. and last I looked SWA even lists it a “737 MAX” on the safety card.
IMHO, it’s a bunch of coordinated media designed to make people afraid to fly and more gov regulation.
HOLY COW! A headline about an aircraft incident without mention of ‘Boeing’.
The worm must’ve turned. /s
>> DEI airline mechanics
DEI management is equally corrosive
If it was a Boeing it would have been mentioned in the first five words. It was a Scarebus 320.
And a cross-dressing President who thinks DEI is the greatest.
Exactly. UNITED is the problem here, NOT Boeing.
Airlines have had problems for years getting capable maintenance workers to work for low pay and terrible hours. Subbing out the work to Didn't Earn It (DEI) firms wasn't to give "disadvantaged persons" opportunities, it was to give United excuses for poor performance.
Airlines/FBI trying to establish a ‘pattern’ so that when Trump flies, HIS flight accident will seem like just another airline malfunction!!
I wonder!!
Maybe Mikey Moore was on the plane and it couldn’t handle the load.
It was a reasonable guess.
It was an assumption based on recent heavily biased reporting. The problem was:
#1 United airlines mainetenance and/or
#2 The engine manufacturer's
