Here's how Boeing got their name...
 Boing! Boing! Boing! |
Memory might be short, and/or I’m not paying attention, but can’t recall a crusade against the manufacturer of any plane that’s crashed before now.
And even if there was, it doesn’t mean this isn’t exhibit 100 and something in the takedown of Boeing.
The g word here is greed. Without a DOJ prosecution, their monetary claims are limited. If the DOJ jumps in, the drawings for further rounds of lawsuit lottery get going.
United actually has decent well trained non-Ethiopian pilots, and a service/management crew
Just Say’n
I’m old enough to remember when they sold flight insurance in kiosks at the airport.
I remember a Boeing engineer relative of my wife telling me, YEARS AGO, he would never fly on any African airline. He said the pilots who came to Seattle from Africa to train on Boeing aircraft did not like to study the manuals or immerse themselves in the classroom training. They just wanted to jump aboard and get their hands on the controls and get their new Boeing plane up into the air.
He also said their maintenance operations were a disgrace. If cabin pressurization failed, they would often not immediately ground the aircraft until it was repaired. They would just keep flying the plane and keep it below 10,000 feet.
Sounds more like an ambulance chaser has rounded up some clients.
