Indeed. Omg 😳

I wouldn't fly on one either.

The "rot" began at the top when Boeing "merged" with McDonnel Douglas. In reality, the merged company had a management mentality of military aviation bean counters from McDD push Boeing's engineering excellence DNA under. The first was to move HQ to Chicago, away from the manufacturing and engineering in Washington. Then, when the A320 showed that it was a better value for money, more recent design, the bean counting military-oriented Chicago managers decided to do a band-aid re-engineering of a 60-year old jet design. The 737 fuselage was not only narrower than the A320, but its height above ground was too low to accommodate, larger, higher bypass efficient engines. Instead of designing a new fuselage, the bean counters decided to tweak the mounting of the bigger engines to project upward, not only adversely affective aerodynamic stability, but also requiring new wings. The Bean Counters also claimed that the 737 Max would be so similar to the previous versions that no pilot flight simulator training would be necessary. Meanwhile, Boeing engineers with a conscience were silenced about the inherently unstable "Frankenstein" design, and the firm lobbied the FAA to approve the aircraft. Ex-McDD management had been accustomed to the "acceptable" aircraft failures in military aviation, not the zero failure philosophy of civil aviation. The new management of Boeing should have been tried for criminal negligence, but Boeing was "too big to fail" and the largest single source of foreign sourced revenue. Instead, there was a "settlement" of a mere $5 billion, perhaps as most claimants were not Americans but Africans and Asians??? Boeing criminal, amoral negligence also tarnished the FAA, the opinions of which are no longer considered a "gold standard" from China to France, and there is no longer an assumption of engineering and manufacturing excellence in Boeing products. If market forces had been allowed on Boeing, the entire 737 Max Frankenfuselage would have bitten the dust, and Boeing management forced into a radical overhaul of practices in favor of a return to engineering and safety priority over short term economic gain (and bonouses for management). In truth, when the A320 showed that it was a better suited, more modern design, Boeing should have bitten the bullet and invest the billions in designing a new narrow-body aircraft, taller, wider and configured for the increasingly voluminous passenger size since t he 1950s. Alas, to no avail, and I avoid any Max flights, and even avoid the cramped lateral seating of any 737 unless I am in a Premium or higher class.

737 Max is a yugo of the sky.

This isn’t just a MAX 9 door issue. This is a MAX 8 issue. Both the MAX 8 & 9 - plus it looks like the MAX 7 too. ALL the MAX 737 planes have a multitude of different safety issues and defects throughout the entire planes. So this is not just a one 9 MAX 9 door issues. It ALL max series planes.

Well even if you choose another plane, it might be switched to a 737 Max with no prior intimation.

I'm very critical of Boeing & follow their general shenanigans but I can't lie, price & convenience turmps all for me. As it does for most consumers even those who say wouldn't fly a Max. We've heard this for years, sadly airlines know people really act on their words

346 deaths 😢 Boeing are criminals...

So Delta then...😂 😅

@@AccessKelly no, Delta placed an order for 100 of them. Spirit and frontier have some of the only airbus-only fleets in the US. spirit also has one of the youngest fleets in the US.

Or Jet Blue!

And Jetblue as well 💙💙💙💙

@@jojothetasmaniansassmonkey8866 Delta doesn't get MAX 10s until 2025.

The ultimate example of "Bait & Switch"

Meanwhile here in Quebec we lost our aviation industry… thanks Canada and Americans… vive le Quebec libre et vive la Palestine libre! 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

@@patrice5976The Mirabel plant that makes the A220 series has more orders than ever and they expanded the facility multiple times

MBA takeovers are dangerous

Good synopsis. You could’ve gone on forever and not gotten to the end of this debacle.

Many, many people have also died in Airbus accidents. If you're going to be so risk averse, then never ever go by car anywhere

@@ahdhudbbh But these haven't been caused by a manufacturer who doesn't inform pilots of specific systems introduced for cost reduction.

@@ahdhudbbh Oh really? So when exactly were these accidents caused by the poor manufacturing and design of an Airbus? Please enlighten us about these "many, many" accidents caused by Airbus.

Same for me. I never forgot the 346 victims. Boeing is a shameless company!

I do the same. I only fly with an Airbus.

So you’ve never flown in one since those accidents?

Which is interesting because the 737 has always been a garbage low quality aircraft right from day one. They used the same fuselage for long range aircraft so with the massive amount of flights for short range aircraft it had numerous structural problems which resulted in the roof blowing off Aloha 243 in 1988. Then there was the rudder power control units that decided to malfunction leading to the loss of several aircraft. So many bandaid fixes to what’s a 1967 aircraft with portions of the design dating back to the early 1950s.

The American Way. Cut corners, boost profits, trample people.

@@ApriliaRacer14Maybe so. But everyone else's way is worse.

@@billlawrence1899 Got to be kidding. Manufacturing in Germany, Japan, Vietnam and other countries are better. Are you being serious?

@@ApriliaRacer14 No Kiddin? I haven't ridden on a Japanese, Vietnamese, or airplane from other countries lately so I must have misssed out.

@@ApriliaRacer14The Germans, Japanese and Vietnamese don’t make commercial airliners. And yes, it’s true. Boeing planes used to be so safe because the company was run by pilots and engineers who loved airplanes. They always strove to make planes safer. There were always backup systems. The Max 8 planes that crashed are a good example of what happens when you rely on one component with no backup. The new Boeing management is more concerned about making money than safety. But how many $Billions have they lost for Boeing with their reckless philosophy?! They never should have moved management to Chicago. The bean counters never should have been given control of the comp ay. Dumb move. They’ve ruined Boeing’s reputation.

Ceo's are highly overpaid.

97% CEO's are FREEMASON/SHRINER

​@@johnd8755They should rebrand the 737 to the nightmare liner

$3m? Oh please he wouldn't get out of bed for that. He got $23m last year & that was a bad year with no bonuses for him due to awful production issues/delays.

Actually no...he gets 7.5 million a year

Used to wear Boeing T-shirts but now I want an Airbus T-shirt.

I totally understand your view. But unfortunately it’s jot thay simple. Sipply and demand. Other companiies’s plane wont be able to cover all thr demands. They probably just sell their tickets w lower price and eventually everurhibg will go back to normal. Secondly Boeing is way too big of a company that US will not let it go down. Government will make sure it stays afloat.

And buy what and laying off over the whole workforce and and Boeing going bankrupt

@@stephenwabaxter Well, if you plan to fly on a Boeing make sure your shirt is buttoned tight...or otherwise it may ...well... you know.

@@daryllect6659 My flying days are over but it was something I really used to enjoy. I visited Boeing in Renton and took the tour in the 1980's - it was impressive then.

Yes, a warning lights in an airplaine is different than the "stupid lights" on your car dash (that's what hubby mechanic calls them) That plane should have been grounded until they figured it out and fixed it.

...and they didn't secure the CVR after a major event. Shady.

@@kyleprimetimewhat’s the CVR?

It's Boeing's Fault for the Installation of the the door plug, it's Alaska airlines Fault for not grounding that particular plan when those warning lights came on a Previous Flight. Both are gonna get Some Heat for this.

@@kyleprimetime You don't understand how CVR works, the CVR starts recording when the aircraft has power, even ground power. By the time preflight checks are done, PAX boarded and fuel and cargo loaded, that could take an 40 minutes just for that then there is taxi out and any other hold-ups before take off then you have the same at landing until the aircraft is powered down, so for example a 1Hr flight could and does very easily use more of the 2Hr CVR recording time. That is a simple break-down version, of why there was no usable CVR recording. In the USA there is a 2Hr record limit, in Europe it is 25Hr, In America the pilots don't want 25 Hr recorder they say it's about privacy. I say BS it's about safety, they will have Facebook and Google accounts youtube accounts and never give privacy a second thought.

Airbus is having major problems as well everyone is cutting costs, quality and safety

​@@michaelclark7602 yes they have but neos are not falling out of the sky...

@@LeslieChen83 Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "neo"?

​@@daryllect6659I think he means Airbus A320 neo

@michaelclark7602 you're comments are totally wrong. Airbus have no major problems, safety is number one. 7 billion profit. Airbus is a very healthy company. Boeing is in deep debt

Please keep flying the MAX. Ryanair absolutely raped Boeing in capital acquisition and the revenue margins of cramming 200 people in to the plane is a shareholders wet dream. I love Ryanair's dividends. MOAR cheap 737 MAX's now!!! 🤑🤑🤑😊

1/4 of Ryanair fleet is Max

​@qpr543 Every year, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) releases its global safety report. In its most recent iteration, findings showed that in 2022, the aviation industry saw a nearly 10% decrease in accidents compared to 2020-furthermore, fatalities resulting from aircraft accidents dropped by over 65%. Interestingly, these numbers have fallen despite the number of scheduled flights increasing. The ICAO attributes the improvements in safety to the safety commitments shared across the industry. In fact - the trend across many years of aviation is that today, flying is safer than ever.

Comforting, when the projections showed that without modification the MCAS system on the Max 8 is likely to have resulted in 15 crashes, making it the most unsafe passenger airliner ever. And Boeing and the FAA kept it in service hoping the mods would come out in time (which they didn’t and the Ethiopian Air crash then occurred). These are the people you trust? 157 people aren’t here to argue the point thanks to the decision not to ground it.

Listen to what he says there are lots of other issues that are published but not brought to the publics attention so there is a much larger picture which clearly shows major safety issues with these planes.

You forgot DEI. Management 25% of incentives are tied to DEI hiring and development.

In my experience your luggage goes with it and catches up with you at a later date. Besides, I doubt they could tell you which cargo hold & where a specific piece is.

Too bad. An airplane is not a prison bus. Nobody can force you to take off in it. You get up and refuse to sit down, and that plane is not moving. You will get off.

@@punkybrewster7667I’ve never heard of luggage travelling without a passenger. I always assumed that was a massive security no-no.

Try Fly Dubai’s 737 MAX 8, and MAX 9, they have got the best 737 MAX version compared to any other airline

You’ll be late but you’d be in one piece

Better late than never. You only live once.

Run by CAs and MBAs.

i 2nd this! after all the issues they had with the Dreamliner, then the MAX8, now with plug doors, ...what else is there off, that just no one has seen yet?

The 900er were manufactured before all these outsourcing cost cutting poor QC started.

Well since WWII, with the brief exception of De Havilland, US aircraft manufacturers have had free rein. But now that there’s international competition, the cracks are showing.
