It will likely be 787 accidents and subsequent accident investigations that finally put an end to this broken corrupt company.
How long did it take you to come to that eureka moment ? No $h_t Captain Obvious !!!!!
175 is almost as nice as flying private business jet. 737s are very dated. You can see all the accumulated crud in passenger compartment where things interface. All flying 737s should be upgraded to safer crew alerting system or they should all be prohibited from operating. Lives matter.
I have avoided 737s even before the max accidents. Embraer 175 is my favorite airplane for short to mid range flights. Also much nicer and more quiet interior and no center seats. And of course it is certified to modern and safer regulations than 737s.
Sounds like LCF used to move 787 assemblies may fall out of sky before the first 787 does. Another out-sourced Boeing operation issue.
That was the LCF ya doink!
They completely destroyed the company when they dumped engineering competence for finance nepotism. The max was just one of many symptoms of a dying company.
Boeing executives seem to never have understood the reason the 737 sold so well was because of their very stellar safety record at the time. They completely destroyed that with the 737 max.
this is why I don't want to fly on a MAX, on that MAX the tire fell off
Yes indeed. Boeing has become a minor player in an industry with emerging and much more capable players.
