Should we hold Boeing accountable already?

[Anonymous]

I’m sick and tired of this twisted company getting away with causing some of the worst incidents in public aviation history in the modern day. To be specific, 737 Max must go! People are at least of injury & death on these unregulated death traps with wings.

Boeing Is The Worst!

We should hold Boeing accountable for making the safest form of travel into a living nightmare. Spirit Airlines is doing better than them currently, enough is enough!

An emergency slide incident, a loosely bolted plane door (with missing bolts), landing gear issues, an airplane tire falling off hitting a parked car at the airport, a Korean Air Boeing 737 max dropping 20,000+ feet leading to oxygen masks to be used by passengers which injured 13 passengers on board as well, Dutch Roll incident, engine fires with a most recent one in India which led to an emergency landing…. I could go on and on. These incidents are being played out each week and it is all preventable. Fuck Boeing, put an end to this greedy business shit. Thank you, may accountability see the light of day.

Yes, Boeing Should Be Held Accountable

No, Boeing Should Not Be Held Accountable

Yea for (D) idn't (E) arn (I) t hires - Boeing ruined itself. 😡

One upon a time, the crash prone Airbuses were "Scarebuses" and "If the plane is not a Boeing, the you shouldn't be going..."

But sadly no more.

Trying to make the tried and true shorter range 737 model (a perfect design for more regional airlines), into a more globetrotting ocean crossing "737 Max", should have been a self evidently bad idea

[Curmudgeon]

then you shouldn't be going, ugh typos

They were fine until they started prioritizing profit over quality. That is when every business decided to be corrupt. Too bad we don't have something like a publicly accountable governing body to regulate said businesses in a way that discourages such things.

@normalice exactly!

Make them fly commercial on their own planes

[Asker]

@agape93 Not good enough, make them & their loved ones / friends be forced to fly, that’ll make ‘em learn how to treat the aircraft

In the early 2000s I took an advanced management course and Boeing was one of the studies we did. They are a company located in Seattle. They make their airplanes from locally sourced parts and build each plane from the ground up. Over 20 years ago they decided to build their planes on an assembly line with parts that were outsourced from foreign countries like China. The first thing out of my mouth when I heard this was :What could go wrong?"

@exitseven That certainly is part of the problem at hand, though I will add to the conversation (not take away from you since you explained beautifully), we should therefore be asking ourselves, “why would they outsource titanium/parts/materials instead of parts localized?” Answer: profit motive.
The profit motive, has always been make the process efficient and production cheap which will drive up profits. Be sure to cut back on safety/workers at the passengers expense since those drive up costs and lower profit…. Over the years it gotten drastically worse with CEOs pushing aircraft that still needed work done onto the runway since time is money, not properly inspecting the aircraft to avoid potential mishaps, and other selfish corporate procedure.
This has always been around for companies, just gotten worse and will continue to get worse until we hold them accountable once & for all. 737 Maxes are the only planes with this problem since that is when profit motive has never been higher. It is a disgrace.

Thank you for sharing your experience and you are absolutely right.

Thanks for the MHO😎

@exitseven You are welcome

Of course Boeing should be held accountable (whatever that t actually means), but that will never happen; Boeing is a defense contractor and therefore above the law.

Yes.
