I hear you, but you seem to have a selective memory. Apparently, you don't remember Air France 296Q, Gulf Air 072, TAM 3054, Air Asia 8501, Germanwings 9525, or PIA 8303, etc. There were 876 lives lost in the crashes of these A320's. I could list more but I think you get the point.

I have and will continue to fly on both Boeing and Airbus aircraft (any model), as long as they are flown by a major international airline. Both manufacturers make the safest planes available, and all of them are safer than ground transportation. For that matter, you are more likely to die sitting in your rocking chair than on a Boeing or Airbus product!

Cheap Shots at Boeing

I believe the reporting was incorrect. According to the FAA, there was only one door insert missing bolts and that was the one that blew out. After inspection of all the door inserts that had been made, there were a few that needed to be tightened to meet the specified torque specs, which was easily done. All the planes were then released for flight.

He made a Freudian slip. The custom in certain foreign countries is to use decimals in the place of commas.

Let's give the faker credit, he did some homework and got the bank's headquarters address and name of the CFO correct. But he then made some grammatical errors in the text and made the dumb mistake of writing "million dollars" immediately after writing "$36,000,000.00."

They are getting better, but not good enough to really fool people who graduated from high school.

Give the faker credit for doing some homework. He got the corporate headquarters address and name of the CFO correct. But the year of the bank's founding is wrong. And he made some grammatical errors in the text along with the mistake of writing the word "millions" following the numerical expression of the total value.

They are getting smarter, just not smart enough!

I love Spanish olives. So, I buy multiple big jars at a time in Costco.

What happened to the meal?

By removing one olive from the salad, United saved $50,000 in expenses. That started the ball rolling to save hundreds of millions by eliminating meals.

Boeing Bashing

Recent news regarding Boeing has been really scary and I shall certainly be looking for airlines that use Airbus until Boeing gets its quality control sorted. I wonder how many people who still support Boeing, despite the numerous safety breaches, actually regularly fly themselves. Loyalty to major US manufacturers is fine up to a point but that point has been thoroughly breached recently.

As if a resident of the UK doesn't have loyalty to the European-made Airbus unless a family member flies a Boeing?

Airbus and Boeing both make good airplanes. But, the last time I checked, there were more airlines flying Boeing planes than Airbus. And there were more Boeing planes flying than Airbus.

So, you don't have and haven't even seen any of the documents that you assert as proof of your claim.

Would you please share with me the Boeing documents that show "upper management knew of the issues concerning MCAS and approved of the decisions not to mention it to the airlines and pilots when including it in the 737 MAX." I have not seen any such documents and would like to see exactly what they say.
