Reply #11877868 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.

Reply #15563262 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.

Reply #13699637 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

Reply #12431606 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.

Reply #14582162 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.

Reply #17719171 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.

Reply #11562829 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

from a power-on stall. But it would appear you negotiated that alright eh.
