I was a Boeing shareholder in 1999. Co. then had 900 million shares outstanding and was doing $55 billion in sales.
Today the Co. has like 600 million shares and has sales of about $75 billion. Can you spell BUYBACKS?
In 1999 there was a lot of press about how Boeing was making airplanes but not a lot of money all while dot coms with little sales were going through the roof.
That is when Wall Street started bringing in the MBA/Jack Welch types to Boeing.
Funny that today Wall Street is loud about blaming Boeing when it WAS WALL STREET UBER SHAREHOLDER VALUE logic that created this mess in first place.

These high-paid executive types all talk a big game. People have short memories, so they forget all the lies they
hear. Justify your giant pay package by giving never-ending bullshit. Seen it first hand. People want to believe it, do they have a choice? u roll ur eyes,
they'll say ur not a team player, out u go.

So they didn't want to train pilots so they could use it as a sales pitch to airlines hey you can just put your 737
guys on it with no training, and to do that they had to make no major changes to the training manual which is how the whole thing about plane changing pitch was
hidden from pilots
Then when Ethiopia air training bro contacted Boeing about this the legal department couldn't reveal anything due to legal liability from lion air 737 crash so
they basically said no comment to his very pointed questions
And then Ethiopia air went down the same way

🥺 The f/o in that Lion Air crash was just hapless. Totally out of his depth, and he had thousands of hours on
type. I had occasion to become decently-ish familiar with the Max QRH and, reading about how that dude didn't even know some pretty basic non-normal checklist,
it was totally astounding. Even accounting for the stress of the situation.
Of course, that's no excuse for crews not getting trained up properly on the existence of, to say nothing of the proper care and feeding of, MCAS. Which is in
the final analysis all about Boeing selling airlines on a common 737 type rating for all the NG and Max jets. Which in turn is MBA-bait to the people running
massive 737 fleets like Southwest.
Shanaaaaa. They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say, let them crash.

You'd like to think that every piece of an airplane, however insignificant, has a paper trail behind it all the way to
a dump truck hauling ore from a mine. You'd like to think that every replacement part fitted to an airplane, particularly here in the USA, is legit and
documented and not counterfeit.
But you'd be wrong.

An aircraft I flew was destroyed in a crash by another pilot on the very next flight after I flew it. Ultimately it
was pilot error - and pretty bad at that.
The airplane had been repaired with unapproved parts, one of which failed and caused the aircraft's electrical system to be highly degraded. The failure itself
would not have prevented the airplane from flying, but instead the pilot fixated on working around the failure while flying at night and scud-running. Dude
basically had a CFIT and somehow managed not to die.
And when I say "unapproved parts" I mean parts which were not made for aviation at all. Someone decided it was worth cutting a cost corner at the risk of some
unknown pilot's safety. Total stricher move.

I watch a lot of the mentour videos, it's much better than aircraft disasters because he technically explains the
failure

😮 The Cessna i trained in back in 1991 was twenty years old at the time. They teach u to land if engine dies, on
a road or a field, but that never happened. hard to believe i survived, once i was flying solo, i was 17 yrs old, & i attempted a power-on stall, ended up
upside down, i remember seeing the snow-covered ground out the window

Ahh marlon, you entered a spin from a power-on stall. But it would appear you negotiated that alright eh.
