Far too many coincidences.

[NorthMountain]

Almost all of these issues are:

Older Boeing aircraft

Operated by United

Out of San Francisco

Is it incompetence from the DIE-infected United Airlines, or is it sabotage?

[nwrep]

Too much diversity brings calamity.

[Bayard]

nded before flight so I’d say there was at least some competence at work.

[norcal joe]

Yes, it’s a conspiracy.

[norcal joe]

This is getting ridiculous. Airliners often have to return due to mechanical issues, and they always have. How many people died this time?
Why post this stuff?

[Yossarian]

I have a good friend that works in engine maintenance for United at SFO. He’s no fool, he’s a fanatical high-end mechanic, and he hasn’t mentioned any DEI nonsense when he talks about work.

[devere]

I agree.

Excellent question.

“The right engine is not working,”

The right engine no worky, we so sorry. We go back to terminal now. But the good part is we didn't take off with a bad engine! Thank you for flying United!

#4: "Too much diversity brings calamity."

Diversity is our Achilles heal. I prefer no diversity at all.

As Rudyard Kipling put it:

This was my father's belief
  And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
  And the grapes be all one vine.

Why does anybody besides DIEhard enthusiasts fly United?

[volare737]

Why is this news? GEEZ...happens all the time with any jet or any company. Just being safe!

[blackdog]

A campaign of the global elites is one of a psyops fear mongering war against air travel for the masses. They proposed a quota cap of one round trip flight per person every three years as an imposed limit.

They want to shake public confidence in air travel among the public with sensationalism. The facts are that accident rates per 100,000 hours of air travel have never been better than today.

We are being played.

Airliners often have to return due to mechanical issues, and they always have

How many times a day do they abort or cancel departure take offs for mechanical issues while the aircraft is on the runway, preparing to take off?

United’s San Francisco’s base has a ‘very diversified’ workforce.

[Skywise]

yeah - with almost all of these (except for the twit that flipped the seat switch which is NOT a Boeing problem) coming out of San Fransisco Airport and I believe United Airlines this sounds more like sabotage than defects.
