Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Any Boeing insiders or followers out here?

    Surprised this bored isn't lining up to give fiery death hot taeks

    Airplanes are built by spreadsheet cost-benefit analyses now. Using software overrides to overcome a hardware problem always carries higher risk than just fixing the hardware problem.

    Boeing executives don't fly third world airlines. You shouldn't either.

    I prefer hydraulic over fly by wire. Boeing, get your shit together.

    Maybe don't attempt rushing a plane or overlooking shit. The fallout way worse.

    Would be chinteresting to get your take on the 737 Max fiasco and potential fallout.

    I like the stock. Given the amount of negative news you'd think the stock would be in the toilet. Not so much. Before the Ethiopian plane jockey crashed his shit because he can't read an owners manuel, the stock was also holding up well against steel and aluminum tariffs. I'm still in profit territory with this one and I think it will shoot back up to it's March high of 440 in no time. Boeing has been through hell recently but the stock has held up well.

    Having family and friends that are commercial pilots they say it's the pilots not the plane.

    Third worlders fly with the bare minimum in training and logged hours. That's why they went down. They simply didn't know the systems.

    I thought that at first, but Ethiopian Airlines is actually solid and has a stellar safety record, apparently.

    The MCAS sensor was disabled due to a bird strike. From there, pilot error drove the plane into the ground.
