There is a poster here who said we shouldn’t be talking down boeing. The netflix piece was crap and all these issues were crap. Wonder if he still holds this view?
You know, someone is doing a hit job on Boeing and call them manufacturing issues, but I wonder if they are more maintenance issues. In the military, we found out you must have good maintenance to keep the birds flying, regardless of who made them. I wonder with all the DEI bullsh*t if it isn’t just lousy mechanics that are poorly trained in many of those issues. For instance, we had a couple of crashes of F-4’s because some embecile had slid his intake cover down into the intake while he was working on the plane. When the pilot kicked in his burners, the engines blew up..just sayin’. As usual, our dishonest reporters really don’t want to know what the issues are.
Someone in Boeing ‘lowered’ hiring stanards , employees are saying this is why these things are happening.
“There is a poster here who said we shouldn’t be talking down boeing.”
Don’t know about that but wonder if other plane builders’ problems are not being as much publicized.
Back in the late 90’s we were on a flight from Orland to Vegas with a stop in Dallas on a 757. On approach, extending flaps, the starboard outboard flap let go of about 20 feet of the outer section of flap . Interesting. Safely landed but that plane was NOT continuing to Vegas. Turned out the mounting bolts for the hinge bracket had shouldered out during installation and finally met their limit. On my job we always checked for that issue. Proper install likely would have prevented this......
