The controlled descent was due to a pressurization fault in the Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliner. The pilot had to take the plane below 10,000 feet, where there would be enough air for passengers to breathe since the famous in-case-of-emergency masks provide only enough oxygen for 10-15 minutes.
Poor QC, means a unionized schiffhole, and there is your problemo.
I’m starting to feel as though this all has been caused by sabotage. Perhaps all the bean-counting and cost-cutting has pissed off the UNIONISTAs … so there has been strategic sabotage committed by workers who hate being told to work quicker and more efficiently. I don’t put it past communists to murder passengers to make a point
Unlikely. This is most probably the result of DEI requiring the hiring of people less qualified to perform a job because of DEI hiring requirements. After all, DEI required that people be hired on a quota system of what they look like rather than what they know or are skilled at.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by sheer incompetence.
D I E, it is D I E, diversity, inclusion and equity, that is the correct order.
Let me tell you a story about the Koebel brothers in Walkerton, ON.

Everything Boeing touches turns into a problem.

Stuck in Space … this series follows the adventures of a trans couple who struggle to start a family in space aboard a Boeing-built starliner. Crap. Did I just give someone an idea?
Glad I’m not stuck in a capsule with her…
9 out of 10 passengers who suffocate reduce their carbon emissions.
I met a fellow who was a Boeing QC guy looking at the wing spars of a Boeing model. A number of spars came in below standard so he removed them from the production line. He went on holidays a week later and when he came back all the spars were gone. He asked what happened and was informed that his ‘replacement’ had passed all the spars and they were put back into the production line. He quit that afternoon.

Re-posted for anyone who didn’t catch this in the last Boeing thread. Good read.

Just got home from Calgary. I chose Porter over Westjet and AirCan because Porter has Embraer 195s and the other two have 737-8s on that route.
Strange thing is that the outflow valve is made to fail to the closed position which would cause higher cabin pressure. If that happens the safety valve will open to prevent over-pressurizing the cabin. It takes very deliberate commands to set the cabin altitude and rate of change. Pressurized planes have been around since WWII so this is not new technology.
Remember years ago when Lear jets were killing it’s owners, because the valves were failing in flight.
