  1. Wind chills are supposed to get to -45
  2. That 110 mile closing distance from Taiwan doesn't seem too crazy if they can just continuously send cheap ass drones to bombard.
  3. Last time I checked we didn't have any Naval assets shooting down Russian cruise missiles or drones. If the Houthis really wanted to sink those oil tankers. They would pull a USS Cole type shit. Which did happen in Yemen. The Houthis and the pirates have already proven recently that they can get up to and take over an oil tanker. If they loaded that thing up with 500 lbs of explosives instead of 3 humans. They would sink an oil tanker easily. They are blindly taking pot shots right now. Get a dude to drive straight into the side of an oil tanker then I will believe the Houthis are serious about sinking tankers.
  4. If you are in operations or engineering. You know the enemy is the business group
  5. They just told us to stay home til Tuesday.
  6. I am beginning to think China is paying them to launch drones just so they can gauge our capabilities. Also I think our shoot down vehicles are probably 9-10x the cost of them building a drone or cruise missile. Plus the strain of the ships constantly being on General Quarters. They are basically just fucking with us at this point.
  7. From what I am seeing. Boeing is taking the kick in the nuts for this one. Spirit has been absolved. Alaska and their WIFi config people have said they don't touch that part of the plane.
  8. Y'all need to let it go. Both sides of this need to stop. beginning to sound like idiots. Ruining a good thread
  9. 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
  10. Boeing shut down Puget Sound for a little under a month. They did buy out and layoff a bunch of people.
  11. 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.
  12. The cream filling is the best part right? Errr, speaking for a friend of course
  13. That Renton plant is definitely a union shop and they are around 60 dollars an hour there.
  14. That is very true. But if I had an electrical/electronics issue I wouldn't be checking my doors and windows for tightness
  15. 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
  16. 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......
  17. We got 8 inches in Omaha. This morning the wind picked up. That's when it started getting nasty.
  18. Well they are right. Quality QA is racist.
  19. I think derka got fatality and casualty mixed up. No one died a lot of people got hurt
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Ah yes. The old fuck the whistle blower and replace him with a corporate shill. How Boeing of you.
  23. 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
  24. They all should be made to sign no overage contracts. The government gets their shit pushed in by the defense contractors all the time
  25. 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
