Used to be “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going!”. Not so much anymore.
They should sell these things to the Iranians and North Koreans and be done with them.
Somebody here on FR was defending the 737 MAX recently - yet here we are with yet another issue.
Will the new all electric engine jumbo jets be ready by then?
Hope the projected and predicted range for the EV charge will be sort of somewhat accurate.
Over the ocean: “This is your captain speaking. I want all of you to review what the staff told you about using your cushions as flotation devices. We’re going to be about 300
miles away from the coast when we need a recharge up here.”

If you taxi around all the time with the engine anti-ice turned on, even on 90 degree summer days, the heat will eventually cause the composite engine inlet faring to disintegrate and pieces could be ingested into the engine. But it takes a very long time of abuse of the engine anti-ice system for this to happen.
The short term solution is don't turn on engine anti-ice when it's not needed, like the flight manual says.
The long term solution is to add sensors to the engine cowls to detect icing conditions, and to turn off the engine anti-ice heat when it is not needed.
According to Agenda 2030 we will not be allowed to fly after 2030 anyway. We will be eating bugs and snakes. Vote Trump 2024 or this is your fate. Look it up

“The solution selection process ...”
That’s what it’s all about!
This proves DEI needs to D-I-E a slow painful death.
Wanna bet there are no DEI commissars involved in the team member selection process this time?
Maybe they should outsource their manufacturing to China. At least then, people would know to expect poor quality.
Boeing officials need fixing, an issue that will take multiple human generations to accomplish.
how about “scrap it” ...call it a day..and start over with a clean sheet of paper...
Can’t get Nikki to help or is she still in the TDS war room?
As a BA shareholder I’m not happy with these constant issues.
Fix the problems and what caused them
The “plug” that blew out on the Alaskan 737 confuses me. It was not a design error. It was an assembly error due to missing bolts. I can not comprehend such incompetence by the workers. I suspect this was intentional by one or more of the workers. That is called sabotage if such happened.
Now Airbus has so many orders for the A321 NEO and XLR that it will be into the 2030’s before airlines can get delivery. Maybe Embraer needs to start making bigger aircraft.
Jet engines, their components, their housings, are naturally vulnerable to physical objects (usually birds), noise, vibration, harshness, cold air, and heat.
“Composite” parts are especially vulnerable.
And, “composite” parts tend to let us know, where they are not durable, not reliable, and should be replaced by parts consisting of more durable material.
That (”then, let us use the durable parts”), is eclipsed by executive, financial, and marketing bosses.
How long till they fix the door popping out?
