Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, delivered 24 jetliners in May, including 19 Max jets. Ireland’s Ryanair got four and Alaska Airlines took three.

the Alaska Airlines jokes just write themselves.😂😂😂

Saudi Arabia which usually was a Boeing customer recently made a big Airbus order and might consider Comac in the future.

The Comac/Bombardier C919 is so cool man. It’s really the successor to Bombardier’s commercial airline initiatives that got nuked by Boeing and the DOJ.

Seriously. Fuck Boeing and fuck the DOJ.

You know what they say, when life closes a door, sometimes another might fall off.

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.

Wait, there are planes where the toilets are not fully enclosed?? In a tightly sealed cabin??? This is beyond disgusting.

No. Stop. Think of the C-suite’s golden parachutes. Whatever shall we do.
