Re: LA800 flight SYD-AKL in flight uncontrolled descent

The press for Boeing has been bad enough lately but this information appeared on CNN's website under the headline "Boeing Is In Big Trouble". According to this passenger, the pilot told him that the "gauges kind of went blank on him." LATAM is describing it as a "technical ...

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

I remember shortly after the MAX events, a.net was pretty much unisono that a 3rd catastrophic event of the MAX could be the one ending this product, and disrupt Boeing as well. As AS1282 was in climb mode, wasn't that 3rd nightmare just 20 minutes short of happening? 2m2 of a hole in the hull open...

FAA to audit the Max 9 production line!

Final report was from just a year ago (January 2023). Your "facts" are all from 2019 (and worse from Wikipedia), of which some did not even end up in the final report. Nice try though. Apologies! I am a mere frequent flyer, passionate about planes. I didn't follow the final reports, but I...

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

How do you know this? The chief pilot and a few check airmen at AS met with a group of us in SEA several years back and discussed the MAX accidents regarding MCAS. They'd been afforded the ability to review the FDR info and NTSB reports. They said, "Look, we hate to ever point fingers at the d...

Fantastic journalism to use a 4-5 year quote as a headline today.

It would be fantastic if Boeing had improved since that epithet was first used in 2016. It's looking increasingly as though they haven't.

In view of the latest "discoveries" i.e. loose or missing nuts and bolts in the rudder, door plugs departing in flight, what is next? a wing falling off? Would it not be prudent at this stage to inspect a number of 737 Max'es in all areas that have safety relevant bolts, nuts, connectors,...

Re: AS1282 PDX-ONT decompression event, returned to PDX, FAA temporarily grounds 737MAX9 for inspections

Or it’s a legitimate question given all the issues the MAX has had. I can’t believe people think it’s a stretch to ask that question. Jeremy He's right. Unless and until there's a correlation to something unique to the MAX (which isn't going to happen), the media reaction is complete pearl-clutchin...
