Years earlier, she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror.

      Listen man, I personally go out of my way to not fly on Boeing planes, but we have no idea what happened to the Air India flight. And frankly, what we know about QC problems with 787 airframes is nowhere close to giving you an immediate double engine rollback right after rotation.

      Of course, as always on Lemmy, people who know very little about a topic will accuse those with more nuanced opinions of being paid off because they’re not validating their simple world views. It’s like discussing people in a crack house.

        oh nuanced! you’re so sophisticated! first don’t dismiss others as if they have no idea. acknowledge you may not be the smartest in the room. Otherwise you come off as a clown.

          No, I will continue dismissing you as having no idea of what you’re talking about because that’s clear to anyone who’s even half educated about aviation.
