  1. Y'all need to let it go. Both sides of this need to stop. beginning to sound like idiots. Ruining a good thread
  2. https://www.geekwire.com/2020/coronavirus-shutdown-boeing-will-resume-commercial-airplane-production-starting-next-week/ They shut down their entire factory for a . month
  3. Boeing shut down Puget Sound for a little under a month. They did buy out and layoff a bunch of people.
  4. Boeing's first Covid death coincidentally happened to be a Quality Control inspector out of Renton Washington. Did his death cause the 737 MAX issues? Probably not.
  5. The cream filling is the best part right? Errr, speaking for a friend of course
  6. That Renton plant is definitely a union shop and they are around 60 dollars an hour there.
  7. That is very true. But if I had an electrical/electronics issue I wouldn't be checking my doors and windows for tightness
  8. It's the terrorist attack rule. No place is safer than after a terrorist attack. Those 737s are going to be inspected with a fine tooth comb. Just gotta watch out for mushroom eating pilots
  9. I've been to many oil and gas plants and when they are doing turnarounds. They would assign random people to do closeout inspections. Well, if you have never done a closeout inspection. Then you don't know what you're looking for. A lot of people are too prideful to ask what they are supposed to do for a closeout inspection. So they just shine their flashlight in there and say yep. Looks good to me. If you ever ask them what looks good. That's when you're like hmmm......
  10. We got 8 inches in Omaha. This morning the wind picked up. That's when it started getting nasty.
  11. Well they are right. Quality QA is racist.
  12. I think derka got fatality and casualty mixed up. No one died a lot of people got hurt
  13. There is. I don't know what the number is but I think someone mentioned based on the config. That extra door isn't needed so they plug it.
  14. I think it's a cost issue. That plug might be 10k or so. The emergency exit door with that slide is half a million. And then the door you would have to keep maintaining it.
  15. Ah yes. The old fuck the whistle blower and replace him with a corporate shill. How Boeing of you.
  16. I've been a second checker on many things. How there isn't a torque value and an initial next to each one of those bolts is appalling. And I'm sure one of the pre certs is to pressurize the plane to probably 5-10 psi. This is just amazing
  17. They all should be made to sign no overage contracts. The government gets their shit pushed in by the defense contractors all the time
  18. Yeah. If a singular bolt was missing. I would be like eh, shit happens. An entire fucking door panel that establishes your pressure boundary. That's a who the fuck was asleep at the wheel
  19. Door has been found. And so has a iPhone of one of the passengers. Still with half a charge. I want to know what phone case the person had and if the screen is still intact
  20. I am really surprised it was Alaska Airlines that fucked up. They are held to pretty high regards from what I know on their standards. If it was Spirit or RyanAir I would understand but Alaska? Some heads are gonna roll for this one
  21. I bet my bottom dollar NTSB finds out there were no bolts installed and QA/QC ate a dick
  22. That's why I am surprised. One of my favorite books is called Black Box Thinking and it dives into. Hey are we fucking up. It takes airlines minutes to say. Yeah we fucked up because they are willing to be extremely critical of themselves. You do that with the medical industry and they say well let's cover this one up. My analysis on why the industry is so different is usually when a pilot fucks up. He isn't alive to defend himself anymore
  23. This Knigga is a lunch pail guy. Coach on the field One of the most well spoken Knigga I have ever talked to.
  24. Steel bolts beat aluminum airframe every day
