      That's why I've purposely avoided Boeing planes and United since last month even when it meant paying a bit more. Don't people realize how disastrous in cost of lives these events could have been. People need to check out the photos of what that airline wheel did to the cars they landed on.

      @@danmacarthur8944I understand that people are worried about flying on a Boeing after the 737max accidents… but the landing gear has nothing to do with the built quality of Boeing. It’s the fault of the ground crew or it’s bad luck and just a material failure. Pls don’t mix different things. Moreover the 777 has been flying for 30 years and it has nothing to do with the current 737max situation.

    I haven't flown in 24 years and will keep it that way. Poor maintenance didn't just start recently but is accelerating with cost cutting measures. All employers expect too much too quickly from their employees which is how mistakes are made.

      @@jmagno5816 There's zero proof of this at all. DEI does not sacrifice experience for diversity, it simply widens the pool to include *qualified* people who happen to not be white men. It does not eliminate all previously existing criteria for hiring. You have no idea the racial background of anyone on any maintenance crew that worked on these planes. Assuming that they were nonwhite or women and blaming this on them is so inherently bigoted, if I saw you and a black pilot on a plane I'd be far more afraid of you.

    I'd be embarrassed working for United.. not just for safety
    They want to force people to pay extra for REGULAR economy seats. An aisle is now premium? And any economy window seat is premium? They are the extremely cramped economy seats that give everyone leg cramps. You can't even reach into a bag under your seat. It's too cramped to get anything out.
    And they will put anyone 8n an exit row that PAYS money for it. They don't care about safety. The 99 year old grandma is supposed to help people off the plane. And a Professional Firefighter can't have a seat there to rescue people? So infuriating.

      Literally, hundreds of Airbus A220s have problematic engines attached to them. And will have to be pulled out of service, to be reworked, over the coming months. Unless, the engine fails while in flight, and it will land and be pulled out of service then. It is so bad, at least one airline is pulling that aircraft type out of their fleet and getting rid of them. Aircraft are highly complex machines. And need to be inspected, serviced and maintained during the operating life. Can't blame the aircraft manufacturer for the plane's maintenance or operation issues, years/decades out.
