@@historyofeverythingpodcast Mentour Pilot actually talked about this part at 15:50 it's not entirely correct to say that MCAS was put in place to prevent stalling, this was not the goal of the system. It was made to keep the plane handling like the previous models, because if it wouldn't pilots had to be recertified costing airlines money.

Personally I feel like buying out a competitor should include purging its executives from leadership positions, but what do I know

@@whensomethingcriesagain Well do you want to make money consistently over time, Or do you want to get rich quick? We see individuals make this choice all the time, and sometimes corporations make it as well. There's a lot of terrible unstainable ideas that are good for short term profits. McDonnell Douglass executives were well known for their ability to cut costs and raise revenue until it destroyed a company that was once well known and highly regarded. Boeing shareholders profited very well for almost two decades by following the same pattern. Though it ends with the company ultimately losing a lot of its value and will now need to be bought out, or bailed out before too long.

My Uncle worked for Boeing for close to 20 years. He retired early about 12 years ago now. One thing I overheard about him leaving was that he took issue with Boeing cutting costs on their inspection systems on the tech side. They were forcing out guys like him who were expensive and good for younger cheaper guys.

@@Denozo88 Yep. the reason they had survived the wars where other companies failed is they had built a reputation for being the very, very best. After the takeover, the new owners only cared about maximizing shareholder profits.

@@ducklinsenmayer7681classic capitalism at it again.

Also, his family confirmed that he demonstrated symptoms and traits of psychotic depression and PTSD and there is no evidence that they even made the revelation public under any duress.

It isn't right at all that his autopsy was done by the coroner of the city that is desperately dependent of Boeing's factory.

Knowing that, why didn't he have a bodyguard?

Which is sad cause the Douglas Aircraft Corp was renowned for its amazing, safe, and economical commercial airliners, And only had to me bought by Mcdonald cause of an imperfect storm of disasters.

​@@antonnurwald5700Because it makes them the only US-based commercial aircraft manufacturer.

@@whensomethingcriesagain probably. I mean, this just shows the schizophrenic relationship between governments and corporations. Being the only US manufacturer, they could realistically assume the government would protect them and rely on them for contracts (tanker planes and such, and i'm sure the gov would stop US carriers from buying Airbus only). And in return, they would rip off the government and US citizens. Nice.

"KZfaq user @watchm4ker found dead in hotel parking lot after raising importance of Boeing's ownership"

I remember watching the Mayday TV series as a teenager and wondering why so many episodes were about DC planes. Now I know why…

@@benpaulik2327 A lot of the problems Boeing has been having, have stemmed from two major decisions: The decision to divest and outsource most of the company's manufacturing and development, and the decision to reuse old designs long past their relevance. The former, in particular, led to the disastrous development process of the 787, and all of these problems, including the financial crunch the 787's problems placed on the company, led to the 737 MAX. *All of these problems* mirror the downfall of McDonnell Douglass, with the MD-11, a rehashed, 3-engine DC-10, years too late and plagued with design and mechanical issues thanks to the gutting of the company's manufacturing departments and largely ignored by the airline industry as more efficient and reliable twin-engine airliners were now able to make oceanic flights. Fully in the knowledge that these decisions doomed their airline business, they took over Boeing *and did the same thing for decades.* Only now, there's nobody else for the industry to turn to.

Pedantic nitpick: the B-29 was the Superfortress; the B-52 is the Stratofortress.

@@boobah5643 The factory made both, my train of thought slipped on its wheels.

those pesky Russians bears. ебать

Exactly. All so it would cost less for airline companies to purchase the new Max variants. It had to “feel” like flying the older variants of 737 so that the pilots wouldn’t need any training to fly the new Max variants. That’s what MCAS was for… is for. The problems are that the MCAS relied on readings from a single sensor which is a *huge* no-no in aviation. There must be at least one redundancy in every critical system. The pilots are included in this philosophy-that’s partially why there are two pilots instead of one. That’s why those two Max 8s crashed. It was getting AoA data from a faulty sensor and believed the aircraft was nose up when it was actually flying straight so it activated to correct the phantom pitch up. The other problem was that the pilots didn’t know MCAS even existed let alone how to deal with it. I’m not quite sure if the pilots could have done something if they had known about MCAS. Some say they couldn’t, others say they could if they treated it as a runaway trim situation but I’m not a pilot so I’m not sure.

@@mikoto7693 What's clear is that they were trained to fly it like a 737-NG and when it acted in ways only a MAX could, they crashed.

​@@mikoto7693 They had to pretend MCAS wasn't a critical system because they have to train pilots about critical systems.

@@thewhitefalcon8539 Yup, they even lied to the FAA claiming that MCAS wasn’t a critical system that the pilots had to know about. And Boeing *knew* it was lying to the regulators. Those people (and I use the word “people” in the loosest possible way) *knew* that MCAS relying upon a single sensor was not only illegal, but it would eventually malfunction.

A very real possibility

Corporatism is an unfortunate cancer of capitalism

It's a common issue with air travel in particular just because it's such a weird and money sink kind of business

@@urbanarmory the big issue is that it's a duopoly. Without the incentive of competition to maintain standards, what reason is there for a Finance guy to expend more than the bare minimum so they can maximize EBITDA?

@@SAAltPants can't argue with that, but the investment required to spin up a competitor seems nearly impossible without massive state funding or something similar

Boeing was founded and ran by pilots and engineers for decades. during which time they created great a revolutionary aircraft. Then wall street got involved and the board appointed a finance guy that said they same thing a previous stated. He bragged how he turned the company into a money making machine that stopped creating great machines and ran by people essentially living off of the walking corpse of Boeing. GM had to delay the release of the C8 corvette because of electrical issues. Mary Barra (the same that invested $1 billion in the obvious scam of the company Nikola. The self described "trailblazing CEO" for just being a woman) override the head engineer, Tadge Juechter, to release it anyways. Tadge didn't like it, he was passionate about what he does and cares about the customers, not GM's quarterly profit. He threaten to quit if GM pushed it out and those under did the same. Barra backed down and a year later they released an amazing car that shocked the industry. Let the engineers run the company. Business school doesn't qualify you for anything. The payouts and golden parachutes of these CEO for hitting quarterly profits are destroying America. Makes about as much sense as using a law degree to prepare someone to become a politician.

It's something that honestly should tell shareholders to actually focus on safety and the like instead of junk like "maximum profits." Then again, they more likely care about silencing whistleblowers that are pointing out the safety problems rather than actually making sure their own planes aren't death traps.

It basically is. McDonnell-Douglas basically took over the C suite and moved the headquarters from Everett where the main plant is to Chicago.

I think the root of the problem is the tight relationship with the government. Getting away with cutting corners. There is no way this is clean. This is why government is supposed to be hands off. Without lobbying and under the table stuff, they wouldve been pressured by the public. Or wouldn't have gotten so large that they snuffed out competition. Competition is what keeps capitalism working and prices down amongst other things.

I think the problem is also that Mcdonald Douglas was the LAST American based competitor to Boeing. As guy said in previous comment, Boeing now only passenger jet manufacturer owned based in America which ment a lot of favours with government who wants to keep him runing and with that they have no incentive to improve product.

The movie you're thinking of is probably Fight Club, and the quote comes from actor Edward Norton.

@@christophertablante7680 didn’t know if anything would get flagged if I mentioned it directly lol but yes 👍 probably not the most direct quote

I think it also sounds pretty similar to some thing from “A Civil Action”, although I really can’t remember, but something that did stand out about the movie was early on the protagonist has a monologue about the cost of life and how not everyone has an equally expensive death compensation, which factors in as the movie is about a lawsuit pertaining to corporate malfeasance, that overwhelmingly kills children, a.k.a. cheap victims.

Ford Pinto anyone ? Ford knew that its fuel-tank design could case deadly fires in rear-end collisions , made a calculation and ended up deciding its cheaper not to fix it .

Just yesterday a 777 taking of from Munich, Germany, had to return shortly after takeoff because the toilets malfunctioned and flooded the passenger area.

Corporate aviation is the move, QA was taken seriously and we didn’t release aircraft till we were sure it was airworthy

By this point they should have split Boeing back to pre 1997 merger with McDonald Douglas.

I imagine they would put pressure on quality control since not only the Air Force be one of the strongest branch in the us military but pilots are valuable for the time and cost put in to train them for the machine they buy from them

The USAF has actually been having troubles with them for quite some time. Air Force technicians finding garbage and tools in the fuselage of planes, If I recall correctly there was a number of issues with the new tankers. Door seals not sealing for example. There have been multiple instance where they rejected planes until the issue was fixed.

You think the top brass fly in Boeing military aircraft? No, they just enjoy the profits.

The planes made specifically for the military are generally fine, since it is bespoke design work. The issue comes from the 737/777/787 derived planes that have been recently delivered, the P-8 Neptune, KC-46 Pegasus and a couple more that I am not recalling currently.

​@Felix0587 i think some of the issues were from places that had come back from the depots, which are run by the Air Force on a few airbases. But the issue has been addressed several times at the relevant commands.

Here is a little extra information about the MCAS system it relies only on one sensor and if that sensor was faulty it lead to the results seen a simple fix would’ve been to use 3 sensors instead to serve as back ups and give information to the pilot if an issue arises allowing them to terminate the system if needed

​@@ahashbrown3747that would have been the smart decision. Boeing decided not to do that for some reason.

Allow me to explain. Here’s the problem with the idea of using three AoA sensors for MCAS to use…. There are only two physically on the 737 variants. Adding a third would require major rework on every single 737 max 7, 8, 9 and 10 in existence. Even now a weakened MCAS still can only rely on two sensors. I think there’s a “synthetic” third one that gets a value taken from other readings but… yeah. At this moment I think if there is a significant difference between the two, it now hands control back to the human pilots to deal with instead of automatically kicking in and overriding them. The funny thing is that Airbus actually did design their airliners to have three AoA sensors.

I mean, it can be both. If it makes the plane fly as pilots are used to, that does make it safer. That being said, the fact that they didn't disclose the existence of that system does point to them trying to pretend like airlines wouldn't have to train their pilots for the new planes, thus making themselves look like the obvious choicem

@@mikoto7693 yeah I agree I was saying that it should have been be part of the initial design but it was overlooked

Literally "You can't fire me, I quit."

Ah yes, the Nixon maneuver.

@@andrewhopkins886 Airgate.

Fortunately, to an extent, he did. He recorded footage of multiple Boeing employees on the factory floor saying they wouldn’t fly or put their families on the aircraft they were building and the time. He also did multiple recorded interviews. His words and work will live on, but his death might save Boeing billions because he was suing them himself. Of course they killed him. The timing of it is simply a message to all future whistleblowers.

How was that Boeings fault?

McDonnell ruined Douglas first, then went on to ruin Boeing too.

if anything, you'd be overqualified.

Most booking sites allow you to filter available flights by aircraft type. Some of them have noticed such an uptick in people using the feature that they've made it more prominent. Boeing's aeronautical engineers screwed up so hard they wound up creating more work for web developers at entirely separate companies.

I had to fly last week. I made sure to go to confession first. Just in case.

I don't fly often, I drive truck.

Also here to comment for the algorithm.

Zersetzung look it up

The cleverly designed pressure that huge Murkkkan companies can bring to bear on anyone they think may ever testify against then must be seen to believed. Sending insurance statements which show their victim is worth more to their family dead than alive is a favourite tactic. It messes with your head.

I doubt it, most likely the backlog of Airbus will further increase. Airbus already has a backlog of orders worth 10 years of production.
