  1. This is not a bug, it’s a feature of “flying is only for elites in private jets” climate Marxism.

      1. RN and GYM
        You are both empirical scientists.
        You observed and concluded rightly.
        Yours truly,
        Never a Jet Set Pleb.
        PS. I do, though, travel extensively around my 15 minute county. In an old ICE vehicle, even after imbibing a brewskie. I know the route, so don’t worry.
        PPS. I am very reluctant to fly anymore, so they are winning, the bastards.

  2. Last major US airline crash was fifteen years ago, the “no-fault” safety culture worked.

    It was developed by our air forces and airlines together here in North America. Not by Euroweenies, and certainly not by any other culture on the planet.

    But it depends on honesty – so we’re going to throw it all away.

      1. Not to mention it’s women only who replenish the human species. I get the point but facts are facts.

          1. The semen wouldn’t amount to much without a woman. Our bodies do a lot to perpetuate the human race. It’s a lot of work.

      2. Yes, Chris, and this woman says that if women were in charge we would still be living in caves ( albeit with nice curtains).

        1. stop playing the misogyny game, girls.
          Humans are humans.
          Some are stupid, and others not, despite their 2 biological configurations.
          To wit..,
          The current ‘MEN’ in charge include Trudeau, Biden, Macron, Sunak, Newsom, Et Fooking Cetera.
          Then there are women, like Christine Anderson and Danielle Smith, both of whom know what curtains to install, and how to do it.

      3. And if you hadn’t noticed … this story was posted by Kate

        Although TBF … I believe she was pointing out a particular subset of half the human race

        1. The problem isn’t that they’re women.

          The problem is that “woman” was a criteria for their assignment to the team.

  3. Same nonsense in every industry. Every company with more than a handful of employees.
    From warehouses and manufacturing to education and healthcare.

    People who can’t get a McDonald’s order right are now in charge of absolutely everything.

      1. We have been screaming about the dumbed down education system for over 50 years now. The majority of the workforce is officially stupid.

  4. When 2+2=5 amazing things can and do happen.

    Perhaps all planes, bridges, and buildings should have a prominent sign “Designed and built to socially diverse standards.”

    1. Yep, a real world version of what I’ve been using for an example for years.

      I’ll put anyone who says 2+2=5 on a plane with 2 units of fuel in the left wing, and 2 units in the right…with 5 units needed to land.

      Over the Atlantic.

      In winter.

    2. Use at your own risk. Have booked the first out of country family vacation since before the scamdemic recently. Have begun to question that move but figure we fly only on cheap carriers so every that will fall off the plane has already. Mind you should have some flying lesson in case the crew croaks from the jab.

  5. Spirit Aerosystems builds the 737 Max fuselages with the door plugs installed at the Spirit factory. So, if the bolts were loose or missing? Spirit is where it happened.

    “Weeks before the door plug blew out of an Alaska Airlines flight over Portland, Oregon, on January 5, grounding more than 150 Boeing aircraft, workers at the part’s reported manufacturer had been warning of safety concerns — but management ignored them.”

    Jacobin Magazine is run by Communists, but they have the facts. The workers in the IAM are their sources. Spirit has previously had Failed inspections and Quality Control problems with Boeing fuselages.

      1. Yes Boeing is responsible.

        Boeing didn’t do the Quality Control.
        Boeing didn’t supervise their subcontractor. Boeing didn’t give a shit if they received poor quality fuselages, because the fuselages met their price and schedule.

        But doesn’t anyone really want to know how this f*ckup got f*cked up?

        It was not a design issue. That is important.

    1. We’re living with those consequences now. Fraud and murder are not uncommon in the health industry.

  6. Background:
    How Boeing’s Managerial Revolution Created the 737MAX disaster.
    By MAUREEN TKACIK September 18, 2019
    Nearly two decades before Boeing’s MCAS system crashed two of the plane-maker’s brand-new 737 MAX jets, Stan Sorscher knew his company’s increasingly toxic mode of operating would create a disaster of some kind. A long and proud “safety culture” was rapidly being replaced, he argued, with “a culture of financial bullshit, a culture of groupthink.”

    1. I disagree in this instance. The plane entered service in November, so there would not have been any maintenance since delivery. Boeing will have certified that the plane was airworthy, so Alaska Airlines would not need to pull it all apart before flying it.

    2. The plane was brand new.

      It came from Boeing with the door plug improperly installed. Boeing should have caught the error, either at the Boeing Assembly Plant, or at their subcontractor Spirit Aerosystems when Spirit was assembling the fuselage.

      After all the previous problems at Spirit? If Boeing cared, actually really cared, it would have replaced the Quality Control at Spirit with Boeing people and told Spirit they were paying for it.

      1. Yeah, maybe….but the FAA is a lot like the FDA. Would be interesting to see what kind of corruption goes on in the airline industry compared to the drug industry.

    3. Does the plug required maintenance after installation? doesn’t make sense that it would, given the point of it is to remove an expensive emergency exit, with a less expensive non-operational plug.

  7. Great PMS moments in aircraft assembly?
    Great menopause moments in aircraft assembly?
    Great lack of hand strength in aircraft assembly?

  8. Woman is the reason Man has to work by the sweat of his brow. She, not “the Jews,” is the root of all evil.

    And Woman is the reason the Lord had to hand down a Law in the first place. Left to himself, Man knew better than to second-guess God.

    1. Yes Kahane Tzedek, but 95 out of every 100 prominent feminists,from the very start of feminism was/is JEWISH !!!!
      And 100 % of the absolute WORST feminists are/were JEWISH !!

  9. Modern women’s narcissim and need for constant validation knows no bound. Million of women worked in factories during WW2 churning out hundred of thoudsands of aircraft and thousands of women flew them to bases around the world. None of them felt they had to pat themselves on the back publicly or hold yearly events like “women in aviation”. The funny part is that the most accomplished and a true pioneer of women in aviation, first woman to fly a helo, a jet and the only woman to fly a rocket plane, holder of many gliding record is verboten to discuss or mention. Hanna Reitsch. Might have something to do with the fact that she was an unrepenting Nazi, so we have to do with posers like Earhart. Earhart understood the importance of image however.

    1. The first helicopters were built and piloted by a man. Sikorski.
      Think about it: Throwing a contraption together and getting in it and flying it.
      Women have made that kinda stuff illegal.

      1. She flew the German version of the helicopter in A STADIUM at some hub hub in Germany, I think it was for the 38 Olympics. She was not the first person to fly a helo, just the first woman.

        “Reitsch was the first female helicopter pilot and one of the few pilots to fly the Focke-Achgelis Fa 61, the first fully controllable helicopter, for which she received the Military Flying Medal.”

        You could even have Googled it yourself.

    1. Thank you Robert, I’ve commented on this blog fairly regularly for 20 years or more, and this is the first time a blog contributor has responded to me or acknowledged my existence.

  10. Stop the idiotic tik tok videos for the love of God. We all know women can build planes and they proved that in WW2. So there’s that.
    The bigger story is what happened in the cockpit during the flight.
    I’m thinking the pilots got an alarm for the problem but cancelled/ignored it knowing it wasn’t an issue on previous flights…so hey, let’s do this.
    This isn’t Alaska Airlines first go around with fudging maintenance logs and letting stuff slide.
    That’s all I’m sayin’.

  11. Women never were more than about 15% of engineers or techs. Maybe a bit more today? But a lot of companies have their arms twisted to be all DEI and add lots of females and they are competing for a small pool so even mediocrities get hired sometimes. Same goes for pilots, by the way.

    The majority of cause factors in aicraft incidents and accidents are human. Pilot, maintenance, etc. And it’s not even close, like 80%. Always a chain of events. This aircraft is starting to get a bad rep because of this, Boeing better get its shit together fast.

  12. the following is an excerpt email sent to the intuitions DEI administrators inquiring why such an accomplishment was silenced and ignored in that

    IMPORTANT PART

    l was disallowed from spelling out the the kids there 1/3 my age how to get to that point by my age.
    unequivocally told to shut my yap about it. ‘they dont wanna hear it’ was another excuse. between the rows of *
    the point lm making this email wen out 2 months ago in November
    this outfit’s precious inclusiveness includes only certain types.

    ************************************************
    -my student card gave me access to the biggest gymnasium in 200 kilometers.
    my inquiry is related to the latter.
    l made very good use of my time in the gym and some 4 years ago to commemorate my 68th b’day l had a specific workout set witnessed when l set a ‘jaw dropping’ personal (and everyone else in the place as well) record.
    see attached ‘1[xxx letters substituting for digits]PoundsWitnessed.pdf’
    it is certainly fair for me to claim that this is an extraordinary and exceptional accomplishment considering l am not a professional bodybuilder and have never competed in weight lifting.
    now the crux of the issue. some time after that, l was told by the rec centre management that l was to refrain from any form of suggestions, tips, advice, encouraging words, coaching, as to what the ‘secret’ is that l could pull off something so rare.
    there was some emails exchanged but they’re all gone when my Western acct was closed. if you ‘ask around’ whoever was manager at the time lm sure they can fill you in and confirm the above.
    at this time l ask if you can reconcile that directive with the ‘inclusiveness’ touted at [local campus] and l might add a lot of other places especially those publicly supported.
    l was exceedingly baffled at the time and since considering [local campus] is the biggest educational institution in said same 200 kilometers; it exists as a place to share information and knowledge, except myself apparently.
    ****************************************

    and there it sits despite 3 or 4 calls and 2 or 3 emails utterly completely ignored.
    some ‘inclusiveness’
    another example the indifference and at times outright abuse hands of ‘authorities’ supposed to f’ing prevent it.
    my puppy is having puppies l just fashioned an enclosure for her, putting a water dish in. got tips from vet and googled things made sense.
    this girl was born in my house now she is delivering.
    lm off line till this normalizes.

  13. So they are useless. They could at least have hired some women who aren’t fat and ugly to do the video.

  14. All in all, a marvelous summary of the reasons I no longer fly. BTW, it is not female engineers who are the problem – it is the culture of the business that hired and manages them that is the problem.
