One would have to be an idiot to step foot into a Boeing aircraft.
It seems like the airlines flying Boeing aircraft have a worse manpower situation in their aircraft maintenance groups than airlines flying Airbus airplanes.
This is why Boeing recommends you bring your own space suit.
If you’re on the Boeing Max 737, better be prepared to go to heaven.
I think the problem is the delegation of too many functions to computers.
Funny, there were three Airbus related incidents this week that required return to the airport but all we hear about is Boeing.
Boeing!
The problem is that Boeing went in for 100% outsourcing a variety “builds” that go into their aircraft.
Small companies with little overhead and SOP’s below Boeing offered to build various parts cheaper.
In essence, Boeing outsourced their “core competency” to companies that had no business playing in the game.
A few months ago we had cabin pressure loss and my wife got detached retina and temporary deafness. It is a real thing. People have had pierced eardrums.
Did she get the retina reattached?
Normally a climbing aircraft that failed to pressurize would trip the alarms and have the pilot descend. To depressurize at altitude points to a hatch or glass failing somewhere.
Stick to Airbus.
They’re only grou0nding hundreds of A330’s due to engine issues.
I still say that all the stories about Boeing plan malfunctions are leading up to a major plane crash with someone on board that the left needs to be rid of.
They are not above killing hundreds of people to rid themselves of one thorn in their side. And, they plan ahead to do so.
^^^^^ THIS. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of flights by 737s with no trouble hardly points to a design fault that can be blamed on Boeing. But blaming Boeing sells newspapers, to paraphrase W. R. Hearst.
Yes but there was a delay because it took a few days for it to fully break and we were on cruise ship. Immediate treatment is crucial for best outcomes.
yep, i had two detached retinas at the same time in early 2022, they got to one eye in time and I have perfect vision in it, the other one not so much but still good vision. The wonders of modern medicine i am so appreciative of it otherwise I would be blind now.
In our case they had to abort a landing for some reason which caused a pressure problem. They make a product called earplane which will prevent a torn eardrum. I would recommend it as a precaution.
They still maintain the lies about TWA Flight 800.
How many passengers lost consciousness on your flight?
Probably zero - because I have not heard about your incident before.
Pierced eardrums after cabin pressure lost?
Your ears are connected to your throat via the Eustachian Tube.
In theory, air pressure on each side of your eardrums should balance instantly if your nose is not clogged, or if your mouth is slightly open.
