The problems with the Boeing 737 Max continue

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Is this symptomatic of a more general decline in standards from those forming part of the industrial and military complex or associated with it ?

Look at USeLess weapons used in Ukraine .
Bradleys , Abram Tanks , Patriot systems , HIMARS .
With F16s reckoned a certainty to maintain the failure trend by experts, if they ever start to fly in the war zone

From what I've read and what has been disclosed in the Netflix documentary "Downfall: The Case Against Boeing", Boeing's leadership (not it's diversity hires) made a conscious decision to cut corners at the expensive of passenger safety when instead of creating a new aircraft in its race to get to market before its competitor Airbus it instead took it's bread & butter, the industry workhorse, the 737 and modified it to create the 737 MAX.

While the concept of utilizing something that was already in production instead of completely starting from scratch may be acceptable, it's how they attempted to create the "new aircraft" that caused the issue. Because they wanted the MAX to have longer range and accommodate more passengers, they put larger engines on the wings but had to higher and further forward which caused a problem with the aircraft's CG (center of gravity).

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 has larger and heavier engines than its predecessor, the 737 NG. These engines are mounted higher and further forward on the wings, which changes the center of gravity of the aircraft 123. The new engines generate more lift, which causes the nose of the plane to pitch up during takeoff 12. To counteract this, Boeing added a new software system called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) to the 737 MAX 8 1. However, the MCAS system was found to be faulty and was responsible for two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 4. The MCAS system was designed to automatically push the nose of the plane down if it detected that the plane was pitching up too much 1. However, in both crashes, the MCAS system was triggered by faulty sensors and pushed the nose of the plane down repeatedly, causing the planes to crash.​

Boeing is one of the last great American manufacturing companies. And while the planes are assembled in the U.S., most of their parts come from overseas.

So we may blame the American workers for how they put it together or the overseas manufacturer. Stay tuned.

Overseas being China?

Overseas being China?

I work with Boeing manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Cali, Alabama, MO, MT, OR, PA and Seattle Washington.

Do you know what you are talking about? No you do not. Run along.

Back when Gay Barry was President the dufus at Boeing committed the company to DEI.

Now their airplanes are literally falling apart.

Just wait until all these goddamn DEI pilots that the airlines are committed to hire get into the cockpit. You will be fucked if you fly.

If I had all the answers I would not have used the question mark

But since you do claim to know it all precisely what percentage is made in china?

Just this morning there was a report of boeing aircraft having hydraulic problems and it had to return or re-route to another airport. Boeing used to one safety aircraft to fly on but those are long gone.

Send them out of business. Soon enough we will get Chinese designed and made passenger jets.

David Harris, the first African American pilot to fly a commercial airliner for a major U.S. carrier, died Saturday at the age of 89. American Airlines, where Harris was first hired in 1964, confirmed his passing.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Capt. David E. Harris, a trailblazer in aviation who became the first Black commercial airline pilot when he was hired by American Airlines in 1964. Capt. Harris opened the doors and inspired countless Black pilots to pursue their dreams to fly,” said American CEO Robert Isom in a statement. “We will honor his legacy by ensuring we continue to create access and opportunities for careers in aviation for those who otherwise might not know it’s possible.”

Prior to joining the airline industry, Harris served in the U.S. Air Force as a second lieutenant where he flew the B-47 Stratojet and B-52s. While a student at Ohio State University, he was rejected from the Air Force’s advanced ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) program twice on racial grounds, according to NBC DFW.

After leaving the military in 1964, Harris joined American’s ranks after being denied by several other airlines. He flew the Boeing 747, Boeing 727, Boeing 767, Airbus A300, Douglas DC-6, BAC One-Eleven, and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 during his tenure at the airline.

Harris flew for 30 years at American before his retirement in 1994 as a captain.
Harris also achieved the distinction of becoming the first African American captain for a major U.S. commercial airline. No cause of death has been made public.

Just wait until all the Whites retire and we get a bunch of these dumbass DEI Negroes, Queers, Trannies and dingbats flying the airplanes. At the same time those kinds of idiots will be performing maintence on the aircraft. We haven't seen anything yet with doors and wheels coming off.
