Damn, imagine working in the marketing department of Boeing.
"When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year."
I'll be there for youuu
When the plane starts to stall
I'll be there for youuu
When the wing is no more
I'll be there for youuu
To state the claims are untruuu-uuue
So no one ever known a flight could've ended up this waaay
The starboard wing has broke
Cabin door's flying awaaay
You're out of hope, you lost your landing geeear
But our stocks are the lowest they've been so far this fiscal yeeeear, so
I've a job to doooo
Get prepared for that bull
Remind all the neeews
It's never happened before
I've a job to doooo
And I guess I'm pretty gooo-oood
Should I send this to Airbus marketing team ? 😂
Plot twist—they work for airbus.
Dude you nailed it
I know a guy who works at Boeing
He says right now it's pretty rough due to recent events but things were finally cooling down
That was before this news broke
He's probably going to have a shitty day tomorrow with more visits from the FAA and other regulators
A believe there have been quite a few articles published with interviews from former Boeing execs with who were around when the company went from engineer ran to finance ran. One of them I remember the former executive said part of why they will continue to not trust Boeing is they are only grounding planes to solve one problem at a time after it's caused massive failure and not trying to engineer and solve all the problems they can so these failures stop happening mid flight.
You take the population of vehicles in the field (A) and multiple it by the probable rate of failure (B), then multiply the result by the average cost of an out-of-court settlement (C).
A times B times C equals X. This is what it will cost if we don't initiate a recall. If X is greater than the cost of a recall, we recall the cars and no one gets hurt. If X is less than the cost of a recall, then we don't recall.
I don’t feel bad for your friend. One bad day at work or 100+ people dying?
"It landed didnt it"
They always do!
No, sometimes they water.
There are more planes in the ocean than there are boats in the sky!
Didn't they cut all of those jobs recently? Wait. No. That was all their 900 QC door bolt retention confirmers that were 'unnecessary'
It was simply changed to, “If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.”
Repeat after me:
"Everything's fine. Nothing to see here. Move along."
