Just as we thought we knew all about the problems MAX!

Many have written stories and articles about the problems at Boeing and the 737 MAX.

I found this version the best and most accurate so far!

It even includes an audio version for those of us who are no longer interested in reading. 😎

A few of us retired airline pilots who were wooed by Boeing in the early 2000s to help shape the flight training for their new creation the 787 Dreamliner, quickly discovered the same problems revealed in this article.

Although none of us paid much attention to another “upgrade” to the old “Guppy 737” at the time.

Now that we all know more about these criminal design flaws at the aircraft manufacturer, we trusted and loved for decades during our airline careers, we have joined the rest of the world that has lost total confidence in Boeing!

A thorough explanation of why production jobs won't be returning to USA.

Good article, but it was already linked here over a month ago.

Just wow. If the "late stage capitalism" the author mentions was on trial, the case for the prosecution would rest here and conviction would be in the bag. It's actually quite a horrifying read and even someone with my low expectations of the world is shocked at what's gone one here.

INAPPROPRIATE ADVERTISING

How tasteless to have an advert for Per-Paid Funeral Plans immediately after the initial posting on this thread!!

C’mon mods, sharpen up!! You’re very good at Pruning posters with whom you disagree but that was a serious case of dropping the ball!
