Just give it up Boeing.
Incredible and terrible:
May the execs at Boeing who approved of this mass murder of innocents!
Be tried for whatever crimes they are guilty of re this awful action, found guilty and then go to some of our worse prisons for years.
If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going! (the dumbest phrase I have ever seen on this website).
What country did they get their engineers from?.
Yeah, no. This had nothing to do with that accident.
Thank God that the LA Times is such a pro-American paper.
Otherwise I would question the ‘facts ‘ they’re presenting.
Hopefully not here.
But somehow I dont think engineers were included in the Max development process.
This is socialist engineering 101.
Yep...they screwed the pooch on this one.
The Denver Post also did a feature.
Having issues with altitude is a bad trait for a aircraft. I thought being thousands of feet high was kind of the point.
When you find yourself in a hole,... ..stop digging.
Nothing a few JATO bottles can’t cure.
Hard to know which paper is more Leftist, Denver Post or LA Times?
One thing is sure, both hate America.
The airport’s altitude did not affect the faulty decision-making process at Boeing.
This is the type of thing that could make United and Frontier Airlines really interested in the A319neo, which was designed for “hot and high” operations (Avianca of Columbia has 12 on order and United/Frontier could buy a lot of them).
Density altitude. Not a new concept.
If this is true Boing has really screwed up in a huge way. Commercial aircraft on this scale that have density altitude problems are non-starters.
The problem is not the altitude. The problem is high altitude + hot day + high humidity + low speed (’cause the plane isn’t at 400 knots yet) when taking off. But the real culprit in my mind is the autopilot “feature” that was supposed to correct for pilot errors - much in the same way that several Airbus planes’ autopilots caused or contributed to crashes.
Well as the daughter of former fighter pilot, and as someone who just flew on TWO Boeing planes in the past week — I assure you I am NOT anti-American...and want Boeing to get new leadership ASAP and back to the drawing boards to design an actual NEW plane model as was originally planned. For the sake of passengers AND for the long term of their company and our economy/trade situation (both of which rely on Boeing heavily.)
