A 45 year old American male has the odds of dying in one year of 0.004137 (less than 1%), and 62 year old has the odds of 0.015702 (less than 2%). The odds of a 45 year old and a 62 year old (who whistleblew on Boeing) dying naturally within 2 months of each other are…not good.
Boeing has 145,000 direct employees of various ages. How many might be lost soon in odds defying ways?
Krise bei Boeing - ein Überblick über die jüngsten Pannen
Das amerikanische Traditionsunternehmen Boeing steckt seit Jahren in der Krise - doch seit einigen Wochen will die Pannenserie beim Flugzeugbauer gar nicht mehr abreißen. Was ist bisher passiert? Ein Überblick.
If you have to fly, you might want to consider avoiding #Boeing airplanes for the foreseeable future. These lemons apparently can't make it through a flight without parts of the #airplane falling off. Stick with the #Airbus for now. It seems like Boeing started going downhill when their bullshit #737Max came out. It's been one problem after the next ever since.
Zwischenfall im März: Problem mit Bremsen bei Boeing-Maschine
Der Unfall einer Boeing 737 Max in Texas geht offensichtlich auf technische Probleme bei den Bremsen zurück. Das zeigen Untersuchungen der US-Behörden. Wegen stillgelegter Jets muss der Hersteller Entschädigung zahlen.
Just heard a quick blurb on BBC that another panel fell off a Boeing mid-flight which landed in Oregon. No harm done… wasn’t noticed until after they landed. United Airlines....
I think you’re right. In one of the articles I posted, an apparent Boeing insider demanded exiting a 737 Max upon finding it was that specific aircraft model that he boarded.
But the problem is not just with the nuts and bolts. A PBC documentary did a deep probe on the #737max. We have to accept that engineers make mistakes. But what I do NOT accept is managers making the deliberate calculated decision to coverup the mistakes to the extent of proactively consciously deciding not to train Boeing pilots on the KNOWN flaws and idiosyncracies to save money. Lives were lost because of these management decisions – which are the same managers who lives depend on w.r.t. the older Boeing aircraft as well. These decisions also lead to under-trained Boeing pilots.
The 737 Max will probably go through copious scrutiny. But even if they make every nut, bolt, and sensor quite safe, that does nothing for the shitty infrastructure of right-wing business people who will continue working to pinch every penny for their shareholders.
I would love to see a dated line graph of the historic and current pay rate of Boeing test pilots with annotations on each incident.
Unterlagen fehlen: Boeing-Skandal wird immer größer
Ein toter Whistleblower, überschriebene Videos und nun auch noch angeblich unauffindbare Unterlagen: Der Flugzeugbauer Boeing stürzt immer tiefer in die Krise. Die Unfallermittlungsbehörde NTSB ist alarmiert.
‘Spending the whole day in the airport was worth it to avoid flying on the Max… [he spent] 10 years at Boeing – including three as a senior manager… on the #737Max’
Individual passengers now feeling compelled to check what aircraft their flights are scheduled on and refusing to board Boeing 737 Max planes sure does seem like a metaphor for something
@inquiline In Europe Ryanair is everywhere. Being the tight-fisted outfit they are, they snapped up a load of 737 Max just after the second MCAS crash when Boeing could hardly give the crappy planes away. Ryanair is keen not to call these shonky aircraft "737 Max", rather "737-8", lest customers might be put off travelling in their deathtraps.
The article doesn't mention what Boeing did with the head, but I imagine they dipped it in tar and mounted it on a pike next to the "[X] Days since last incident" sign
The Boeing executive who oversaw the company’s troubled 737 Max program is out — part of a broader leadership change the company announced on Wednesday.
The shakeup comes amid intense scrutiny of Boeing’s quality control after a door plug panel from a 737 Max 9 aircraft blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight last month.
Boeing executive Ed Clark, who was in charge of the 737 Max program, has left the company. Clark oversaw Boeing’s factory in Renton, Washington where the plane that became Alaska Airlines flight 1282 was assembled.
For all the disparagement of the #European way of doing #business (especially from international organisations based in the USA), what we can see in the #aerospace sector is that #Airbus are now the dominant manufacturer.... especially now that #Boeing's longer term problems have been compounded by their #737Max difficulties.
[And before you say, ah yes by Airbus get masses of state aid, so does, albeit in different form, Boeing]
Die Qualitätsmängel bei dem krisengeschüttelten US-Flugzeugbauer Boeing reißen nicht ab. Dieses Mal geht es um falsch gebohrte Löcher am Rumpf von 50 Passagierflugzeugen vom Typ 737 MAX.
Boeing- another panel fell off
Just heard a quick blurb on BBC that another panel fell off a Boeing mid-flight which landed in Oregon. No harm done… wasn’t noticed until after they landed. United Airlines....
