UnitedAirlines CEO Scott Kirby still all in doubles down on DIE Uber Alles !
If this is the flight I heard about, it wasn’t “just” a maintenance issue.
It took off spraying fuel.
United? D. E. I.
I’m all for blaming Boeing. But in this case, it’s United.
“We take every safety event seriously and will...hire lots more DEI people to fix these problems.”
Hydraulic fluid.
Always a good thing to see!
Ugh.
I was hoping it was a different one.
Even better!
Our motto: “Shit may fall off our aircraft mid-flight, but at least we’ll get your pronouns right.”
If it isn’t DEI, then it’s the airlines saving on costs and streamlining the maintenance processes. Or it’s intentional.
I was on the team that certified the first 777 aircraft.
That is probably the most robust and safe airplane ever designed and built.
Some ting wong, we too lo, and Holy Fuk cart wheeled one at SFO and it was still in one piece.
If you don’t maintain it, it may break.
it will still get you down.
DEI is not working with people that won’t follow the rules.
ESG doen’t make safe aircraft
and profit for shareholders should never trump safety.
United Airlines on Diversity:
https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/company/responsibility/diversity-and-inclusion.html
Rob Schneider tells United Airlines CEO he won’t fly airline because it prioritizes ‘diversity’ over ‘safety’:
I thought that was the DC-3?
United and Boeing. I know they are both deep into DEI, but there have been too many recent incidents.
I’m thinking they are being sabotaged.
“Check Engine” light come on?
I thought I heard United recently hired the first blind pilot.
Apples and oranges.
DC-3 is a good aircraft. But different
economics and use.
B777-XXX won’t last as long due to economics.
it does cost a little more to run and maintain,
and it is just a bit bigger.
I personally think the C-130 will out live the DC-3 in years of use and production.
