danny_galaga Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 (edited) I'm normally wary of saying what's happening to so and so, they are turning to shit. It's the logical fallacy of selected instance. But what's happening to Boeing? They're turning to shit 😄 Probably what I can more accurately say is- what's happening to maintenance standards, they're turning to shit.

facthunter Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Not related directly to the other issues but most likely a n example of the continued neglect of the Conditions some "line' Aircraft are allowed to get into. Keep it in the air and crammed with Pax and the share dividend will climb... There was plenty of evidence pointing where Boeing was going more than 10 years ago. IF people had bothered to keep an eye open for it. Plenty of Airlines are ready to resume Boeing purchases. Just throw a bit of a discount on the price and the Carriers will see a potential extra profit possible. Airlines are a hard game at any time so the cost cutting temptation is always present. I had an airline management person tell me WE have budgeted for one hull loss a year. Bit revealing isn't it? It nearly made me throw up but some how I was not surprised.

Area-51 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This is clearly not Boeing's fault; cut them some slack. Ground engineer obviously screwed up or got a ping on iphone to check latest 2.5 second tiktok feature blockbuster film. All things being equal Boeing supplied aircraft; ground engineer received training with Boeing supplied content; ground engineer failed to implement Boeing approved method. So Boeing is accountable; it is Boeing's fault... 🤔... yeah that is a solid argument.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young people becoming engineers have grown up with smart phones etc. so that has to be part of the training. Train them to make the first step to switch off your phone and put it in your locker. Or whatever the problem is- why isn't he following the protocols? What is it in the training that isn't sticking? Are they lowering standards for recruiting? And etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenaroo Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Is it as simple as Boeing decided to compete on price not tech? so appealed to the minimum cost customer - who also has the minimum cost service divisions. sure it might not be their fault - but is a direct result of the strategy they put in place. they chose to compete on price Edited April 9 by spenaroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
