I dislike flying already, and seeing their woes in QC isn’t helping. Want to go to Europe next year, maybe I should book an Atlantic cruise Titanic style.

Interesting side note- John Madden of NFL notoriety never flew anywhere. He rode buses.

I read on YT that B employees were asked if they'd fly on a B plane...10 of the 15 asked, said NO!

Do you think he will get Golden Parachute?

Many of my retired pilot friend refuse to fly due lack of confidence.

That doesn’t inspire confidence either, yikes.

During the last few years, the comfort and safety of flying has continued to decline. I have no plans to ever board another commercial aircraft.

There are many strange people on this planet.
John Madden is one of them.

My father work for Mc Donnell Douglas air. He made instrument panels for the larger planes. You know all those gauge clusters and shit for the pilots. Yeh kinda technical.
Anyways the stories he would tell me of the lazy ass union workers and what they would do to fix their mistakes especially on Fridays.
I fly because everything we do or use in life is man made in one way or the other. If you can't trust man who ya gonna trust .....Democrats?

2 of my best friends are pilots. When they aren't on the job they are usually flying space available somewhere on a trip. If you're that worried a plane is going to fall out of the sky you better keep your eyes up. These are over our heads at the moment.

Im of the same mind. That said I will go out of my way to not fly on a 737 max

Their (airlines) self-righteous (and erroneous) crap I experienced during Covid about masks, combined with their DEI / WOKE BS is more than enough to keep me off their airplanes.

lack of craftsmanship, quality and accountability is pervasive in so many industries these days… it has simply made its way to the aircraft manufacturer… what they think matters is how diverse they are, not whether their folks are the best at their jobs

You do realize those icons are greatly bigger than the actual planes, right?

Plus, they are at varying altitudes and are maintaining 1000' seperation at all times.

I’m not that worried about a plane falling out of the sky, but there have been an unusual amount of incidents lately, and the common denominator seems to be Boeing planes that are flown by United.

I plan to avoid Boeing as well as United.

Yes.

You mean if your plane doesn’t fall apart, you don’t want to get beat up by the airline staff?

The plane didn't fall apart on any of my previous flights, however the cramped seating, luggage, TSA and other issues have made travel by air a much less pleasant experience than it was several years ago.

737Max is the main problem with Boeing. I watched a couple of documentaries on PBS and Netflix and these guys were really taking cost and time saving shortcuts to get their "best selling" plane out fast to compete with Airbus. They silenced their internal experts when they raised the safety flag and then covered it all up when planes started falling out of the sky.

Good news is every 737 Max pilot for sure knows how to shut down the auto horizontal stabilizer problem when it activates.

DEI maintenance personnel. Yes, Boeing has problems but also look at the AC fail rate of Mil. Same problem. Maintenance (unions). IIRC, Tulsa is the hub for AA 737 maint. I've been to Atlanta facility, not impressed.
