Airbus all the way for me from now on.
God I just can’t over snowflakes who are hung up on a plane violently decompressing at 30k feet, what does your mommy come running when you have a bad dream at night too? The world is too sensitive and soft.
snowflakes these days can’t handle a little ambient temperature of -40°
umm that’s the temperature snowflakes handle best
No, if the worried were soft, we wouldn’t be so worried about riding a fuselage straight down from 30,000 feet.
Yet another one for the “imagine the reporting if this happened in China” pile
I remember when the condo collapsed in surfside a few years back, they went out of their way to compare it to “shoddy chinese construction.”
The fact that it happened in amerikkka and not china doesn’t even stop them from doing yellow peril narrative

Meanwhile fridges and hairdryers and practically anything made in the USSR can still function to this day as long as it was taken care of, but the same product from the west craps out after 5-10 years no matter how well it is taken care of.
People still buy vacuum tubes made in the ussr for guitar amps. First time I ever saw a russian datasheet was a Soviet VFD. Wild that components made in a country that doesn’t exist anymore lasted long enough to still be sold.
have these people heard of loctite?
You know how jeep wranglers have removable doors? It’s not a defect, its a feature.
But really… this shit is kind of why I’m losing faith in everything… I never plan on taking a plane again if I can avoid it. Between the nightmare that is flying in general, and the nightmare of a whole being blown out the side of the plane while flying, I’m good… Honestly, I’ll plan trips that I can drive to.
Here’s the footage of the airplanes being inspected: https://youtu.be/7OpkHMl20L0
Capitalist innovation!
Didn’t Boeing wasn’t asking for skipping regulations with the FAA like a week or two ago?
Yeah, less than a week ago they were asking for multiple exceptions to this line of aircraft for different parts. The 737 Max line has been the most flawed and faulty commercial airliner ever built.

if the US government wants us to be confident that the 737 Max is safe, maybe they should buy one to replace Air Force One and fly Biden around on it
C919 & MC21 stay winning
