As Robert suggests, “every single [incident] really points to horrendous maintenance at United.”

With all of the publicity about such lapses, it would seem to me that word would quickly enough get out — going viral, becoming a meme, and a punch line on late night TV — and even the dimmest executives at United would eventually understand that DEI isn’t working for them. Or not, and they will lose their customer base and run the company into the ground (getting huge bonuses all the while).

This is Boeing’s Bud Light moment.

“US official says Boeing hasn’t turned over records about work on the panel that blew off a jetliner”
“Boeing has refused to tell investigators who worked on the door plug that later blew off a jetliner during flight in January, the NTSB said.”

None of these things indicate that United Airlines has their eye on technical or operational factors.

Note to self: don’t fly United and try to avoid United hubs.

I think it’s fair to still rail on Boeing too.

sippin_bourbon: I need to post about this. Everyone is laying into Boeing for these recent United incidents, but every single one really points to horrendous maintenance at United. Once Boeing delivers a plane the airplane is responsible to maintain it, and in these cases it seems to me that the failure is at United, not Boeing.

Remember, United is the company that went DEI crazy in 2020, and has been hiring solely on skin color since.

Yeah, having a door pop off in space is a tad more serious than at 16,000 feet.
