Good job there wasn't a crew on board.
Not in that tweet but it is impliued in his other tweets
Airbus which is pretty much a French company has its own issues including failed engines, software glitches and quality control on paint. They have lost a couple of big orders due to these.Of course there is only one rival or competitor to Boeing, and in my opinion, it proves yet again that AirBus is another example of how Europe working together can rival anyone, or anything, and in many instances, be world leaders.

The data shows flights are safer and social media and improved reporting means incidents are more likely to make headlines when they do happen. Going back a bit remember the issues with Comet, at the time they weren't widely reported.
truePerhaps it's time to remind any nervous flyers reading this thread that you're far more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than to die in a plane crash.
A big thanks from all the nervous drivers!Perhaps it's time to remind any nervous flyers reading this thread that you're far more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than to die in a plane crash.
Oh dear. Boeing is in even deeper trouble now!The Federal Aviation Administration notified Boeing today that it has opened an investigation “to determine if Boeing failed to ensure completed products conformed to its approved design and were in a condition for safe operation in compliance with FAA regulations.”
In its letter notifying Boeing of the investigation, the FAA notes that the circumstances of the door plug departing the Alaska Airlines aircraft and the subsequent findings during pre-inspection work on other 737-9s may “indicate that Boeing may have failed to ensure its completed products conformed to its approved design and were in a condition for safe operation in accordance with quality system inspection and test procedures.”
