no I’m not an aeronautical engineer...but I do think the entire problem rotates around ...”The former CEO was HOPING....”
I do have a hard sciences background...and nowhere in any of my courses was there one on ‘hope” as an approved outcomes process

A progressive website but nonetheless. Nikki Haley and Boeing insights:

As a BA shareholder I’m not happy with these constant issues.
Fix the problems and what caused them
The “plug” that blew out on the Alaskan 737 confuses me. It was not a design error. It was an assembly error due to missing bolts. I can not comprehend such incompetence by the workers. I suspect this was intentional by one or more of the workers. That is called sabotage if such happened.
“What is the mortality rate for the jab?”
Just make up a number. That’s standard practice when “the jab” is the subject.
Now Airbus has so many orders for the A321 NEO and XLR that it will be into the 2030’s before airlines can get delivery. Maybe Embraer needs to start making bigger aircraft.
Jet engines, their components, their housings, are naturally vulnerable to physical objects (usually birds), noise, vibration, harshness, cold air, and heat.
“Composite” parts are especially vulnerable.
And, “composite” parts tend to let us know, where they are not durable, not reliable, and should be replaced by parts consisting of more durable material.
That (”then, let us use the durable parts”), is eclipsed by executive, financial, and marketing bosses.
The first commercial jet liner was the British De Havalland Comet. Its engines were embedded in the wing for a clean low drag profile, it must have been a bitch to work on for the mechanics. Our new modern high efficiency high bypass engines need a huge intake thus the size of the engine precludes mounting inside the wing.
De Havalland was on its way to dominating commercial jet manufacturing. Due to design errors the Comet had two disintegrate in flight with all killed due to fatigue cracking around the windows from pressurization cycles of the aircraft. The Comet was grounded until this problem was solved. This allowed Boeing to become dominant with the 707.
My first trans Atlantic flight circa 1960 was on a Comet IV. It was a beautiful aircraft for its time. Back then the passengers were gentlemen and ladies. The crew were attentive and gracious. Cockpit doors were not locked and hijackings did not exist. There were no security checks as it was not needed back then. I miss those days.
Do you have any more material on this? I find it fascinating. I mean did they think "software" would just work out the kinks? Horrifying the lives they've been willing to put at risk for their scammy engineering schemes. Decisions have been nothing short of murderous in scope. People need to be held accountable.
How long till they fix the door popping out?
Curiously, 'hope' does have an application in the computer sciences. We call it a 'Scientific Wild-Ass Guess'. 😊
Of course, I'd also note that the Computer Sciences should more accurately be called the Computer Arts. Once an application reaches a certain level of complexity, a given change may or may not have the desired effect, and may or may not have deleterious side-effects.
Will There Ever Be A Boeing 797?
But it's really too late for Boeing to fix the mistake - most airlines have already ordered the Airbus A321 XLR.
Yeah - I’ve flown on more 737 aircraft than any other (though Embraer ERJ is rapidly catching up).
What made Boeing think that “redesigning” the 737 would be a good idea - when it was stretched well-beyond its design parameters? What kind of engineer would sign off on such an idea - then play the cover-up game for the problems that inevitably came?
My suspicion - it wasn’t just about $, but also about unqualified people (DEI hires?)
Basically, they don't even know the names of the maintenance team that did that plug installation.
I see you own the RETARD label.
It used to be the Liberal playbook to attack big business. Now it is common on FR. Go figure.
AGAIN. If a MILLION people LIVED through a 737 MAX flight, how many, of that million have died.
Please provide an answer instead of ignoring it.
The Comet still looks futuristic to me today. Beautiful bird.
Those old turbojet engines could be kinda loud tho.
“hope” was an acceptable part of the business plan for an airplane building company in 1918.
In 2018, “hope” as the basis of an airliner construction process may well be grounds for a shareholder lawsuit
