Well nothing, few months pass by and they will be back grinding for as much money as possible
Yep. You cannot deny that Boeing is huge and basically a necessity on many levels. They will clean up their act, which is prudent, but this will all be behind us soon.
They will ~~clean up~~ sweep the~~ir~~ act under the carpet, ~~which is prudent, but~~ this will all be behind us soon.
This is how I felt about Boeing the first couple times but at this point my trust is shattered. Can’t say I’ll ever fly on one again tbh.
How do you know the plane model when purchasing a flight?
It's listed on the flight website. They need to know and show the model so you can pick seats.
Yep. I flew on a Max right before they were grounded the first time after all those people died, and had just begun to trust them again when this all happened. I changed my upcoming flight to Airbus even though it was more expensive because they were going to use a Max. As an extra, I ended up on the largest passenger jet in service, which is pretty cool.
Boeing will splash around some more bribe money and do absolutely nothing.
Yeah, I hate to be morbidly pessimistic, but this is an American private company we're talking about: I don't think anything will be done until people die
Payouts for the deaths would just be a cost of doing business.
Yep and it would probably be handled as a class action suit, so each grieving family gets $7.25
Maybe build high speed rail instead of planes, and forget about Boeing? Yes, trains need quality control, too, but not to the same level as planes.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The CEO of Alaska Airlines said new, in-house inspections of the carrier's Boeing 737 Max 9 planes in the wake of a near-disaster earlier this month revealed that “many” of the aircraft were found to have loose bolts.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News senior correspondent Tom Costello, Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci discussed the findings of his company's inspections so far since the Jan. 5 incident, in which a panel on one of its Max 9 jets blew out midair on a flight carrying 177 people.
Following the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered all Boeing Max 9 planes grounded and launched a safety investigation.
As a result, Alaska Airlines, whose fleet had the highest percentage of Max 9 planes among any major carrier, has spent weeks canceling and rearranging its schedule, leaving thousands of passengers scrambling.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said in a separate interview with CNBC on Wednesday that it is now contemplating a future for its fleet without the Boeing 737 Max 10, a newer version of the popular jet.
We are taking action on a comprehensive plan to bring these airplanes safely back to service and to improve our quality and delivery performance.
