What The Hell Is Going On With Boeing?

[teeceetx]

Every day I read about yet another serious problem with a Boeing airplane.

Clearly, Boeing is doing something wrong in manufacturing. Likely, quality control seemingly does not exist there anymore.

And I'd bet the same is true of the airlines with regards to their inspection and maintenance.

I'll be avoiding getting on any plane until they sort all this out.

Very scary indeed.

Oh, not to worry. I hear ol' Pete Buttilug, our infamous Transportation Secretary, is all over this!

Planes have a very busy maintenance schedule.
If you don't have enough "guys" to do the maintenance, the planes suffer, because they log a lot of 'running hours'.
#1: Check turbine blades for cracks.

They are to close to Seattle.
Go woke planes broke.

This is diversity and inclusion at work. Never mind if an employee is qualified or not, just as long as they are the right color, gender, no gender, transsexual or any of a number of other freaks.

Yep. We fly regularly but thankfully we're on Airbus A320's.

I used to fly the Airbus from Amsterdam to Detroit, then Northwest to Seattle and Alaska to Spokane. The Airbus has the best first class seats of any airline that I've been on.

And now a Boeing whistleblower has been found dead from self-inflicted gunshot (?).

Yeah right. He was Epsteined!

daughter texted me this morning to ask if we are flying to Europe in a Boeing plane this year....we are not, flying Airbus on Irish airline but then on Ryanair which has old Boeings, but I am pretty sure the older ones are ok I hope, if not it's been nice knowing you all

I meant to post in a different thread that I can't find now. Basically someone said nothing seems unthinkable or too far any more. I worked for Kerr Mcgee in the 80's. The Karen Silkwood stuff was very eye opening. The company settled out of court for allegedly contaminating her home with radioactive materials. That may have been lethal if not for the suspicious car accident later. She was a whistle blower and union activist. There was a movie starring Meryl Streep.

I don't know. But I need to fly to Baltimore in May and the way things are going now - I may not do that.

A few air travel mishaps are a small price to pay for advancing diversity, equity and inclusion. And cheer up, it’s better now than it ever will be in the future.

Drive

Lori mentioned an Alaska vacation, but I WILL NOT FLY anymore.

Don't know where you are coming from, but I would drive if you can.

 

[montanabill]

the flying could be dangerous but the major airports are getting more dangerous...

This week yet another couple Boeing issues.

I'm quite sure Boeing has pretty much put quality & safety of it's planes on the back burner. They even admitted to having eliminated certain QC inspectors at it's facilities.

And the DEI is guaranteed to be a big part of it.

Add to that, the DEI efforts of United Airlines, and there is a perfect storm of a tragedy on the horizon.

It's only a matter of time when one of these planes falls from the sky.

 

[Haertig]

I'm not sure if Boeing has gotten bad all of a sudden. My guess is that we are just now hearing it reported by the media. On top of that, the media is all about hysteria and gathering webpage hits. So who knows what the true magnitude of the problems is.

Still, it does give me slight hesitancy to want to fly. The only place I fly these days is to Hawaii. And the best schedules (not prices) are for United. Strike one. And they fly Boeings (at least to my destination in Hawaii). Strike two. And those Boeings are 737's. Strike three.

Well, it's been nice knowing you guys!

I know. We are going to be flying from OKC to Baltimore in May and I am scared to death. I am not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of doing it on a crashing or burning plane.

I'd drive your purple tractor, but I'd have to paint it blue or green (toss-up) first.

You'll be fine. You didn't make it this far just to die in a plane crash.

You are in luck.
According to AOC they are going to build a bridge to Hawaii.

It's a pink tractor with purple flowers. . . cause I am a female with 4 granddaughters who like to come over and drive their Nana's tractor verses their Pop's tractor that is red. I am perfectly fine with the color.

I was teasing, looking for a reply. Thanks. That's all cool by me.

 

[Cascadian]

We will likely be flying 800 miles in May. I refuse to live in fear. If I die going to see my first grandkid graduate so be it. That doesn't mean I won't look closely at the airline and aircraft choices.

I saw that movie. It was very eye opening and sad.
