    It’s not about trust in flying it’s about trust in Boeing. Slight difference.

      Boeing was being brash until they got caught with their pants down.

      You know for sure that shit happens at other manufacturers but they kept it low, and they probably are tightening their QA to not fall to scrutiny.

      I hope that this will trigger heavy scrutiny from the different bodies across the world to make sure that this shit doesn’t happen anymore, but that hope is naive.

        That seems to be a rather unfair assertion to make. Boeing seems to be unique amongst the big airlines in having these problems; and they’re relatively new problems for them too, in the grand scheme of things.

        I’ve never once heard of systemic issues of this sort at Airbus, and it seems lazy to do a “they’re all the same!” when this really does seem to be a Boeing problem first and foremost.

        This happens every time a company focus shifts from building a good product to appeasing the shareholder gods. Capitalism kills.
