With all the problems occuring for Boeing planes and the airlines that use them, as well as the effects of having diversity enforced upon airlines, which airlines that run in the US are the least affected? Are airlines that use Airbus, for example, also having planes fall out of the sky?
I am thinking of visiting some family cross country. Road trips are expensive nowadays due to the price of gas and lodging. Just curious if there are any airlines/ airplanes that aren't as badly afflicted by progressivism. While we are at it, how bad are modern planes and airlines? As bad as the jokes of "planes falling out of the skies" make it out to be?
Starliner has valve issues and window covers blowing off. It's not just a few planes. It's endemic to the whole company.
Except for the fact that out of everything I listed, the only thing still in current production is the 787, which is made by a separate division of the company in South Carolina. The 737NG has been out of production for a decade, and the last passenger 757s, 767s, and 777s are all that old or older, and in the case of the -57 and -67, are almost old enough to drink. Boeing 2024 is a giant fuckup, but that doesn't effect the aircraft they produced when the current executives were in elementary school.
Everything after the merger with Mcdonnell Douglas, which happened in 1997 is suspect. The stuff produced after '97 is every 737NG and up,, which all have structural flaws that reduced their lifetime, the 777-200ER and up, and all the 787s. Also they still have unfulfilled orders for 767s.
But I said the problem is endemic to the ENTIRE company. Just ask anyone with HughesNet, or what happened to SeaLaunch.
