Wish that this somehow translated to the people in charge of the shitshow being replaced, but I’m pretty sure it’s the workers who will suffer instead. This failure is 1000% on an executive culture of “cut corners so line goes up”, not the thousands of people who actually build the darn things.
It’s always the workers that suffer, even when things aren’t going horribly wrong. Corporations don’t care about people, they care about money. Making money, saving money, in that order. Employees are just numbers to them.
I hope the max dies.
Not because of the risks. The issues with it are important and any plane with those problems needs to go.
Specifically the max8 and max9, though. The option for that plane to make it the most cramped, uncomfortable, unhealthy plane in existence - the only option seemingly chosen by purchasers - means it has to go.
For Christ’s sake, I needed to use the rear loo and the separation between my shoes in the loo and the Stew’s shoes in the galley was … A restroom partition with no bottom. No shit; well, full disclosure, much data was released. And they had to suffer it and then deliver snacks to passengers. It was embarrassing, horrible, unsafe; it was barbaric because I wasn’t well. I could see their shoes not a foot from mine, and there was no visual or audio barrier between us; certainly no air barrier.
Those planes need to go. The person who dreamt up that configuration and offered it must be humiliated by the Hague.
Okay. Rant over.
I mean, I too would not be real interested in a vehicle where parts have been known to fall off or small safety issues like oh I don’t know PLOWING INTO THE GROUND SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF
They don’t plow into the ground. They enter it in a perfect vertical akin to top Olympic divers, and to claim any less is libel
I’m sure that they can find a way to open doors towards new opportunities if they try
You know what they say, when life closes a door, sometimes another might fall off.
