Wish that this somehow translated to the people in charge of the shitshow being replaced, but I'm pretty sure it's the workers who will suffer instead. This failure is 1000% on an executive culture of "cut corners so line goes up", not the thousands of people who actually build the darn things.

It’s always the workers that suffer, even when things aren’t going horribly wrong. Corporations don’t care about people, they care about money. Making money, saving money, in that order. Employees are just numbers to them.

Employees are just numbers to them.

But unlike other numbers, those numbers must go down.

I mean, I too would not be real interested in a vehicle where parts have been known to fall off or small safety issues like oh I don't know PLOWING INTO THE GROUND SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF

[–] fox@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They don't plow into the ground. They enter it in a perfect vertical akin to top Olympic divers, and to claim any less is libel

True, plowing implies work done to ready the land, this is more like swan lake playing on an old TV being tossed off an overpass.

Why aren't you buying our planes?

Umm, because planes are supposed to fly and remain intact?

I'm sure that they can find a way to open doors towards new opportunities if they try

[–] elvith@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 months ago

Those doors will open themselves for them!

You know what they say, when life closes a door, sometimes another might fall off.

No. Stop. Think of the C-suite’s golden parachutes. Whatever shall we do.

Saudi Arabia which usually was a Boeing customer recently made a big Airbus order and might consider Comac in the future.

The Comac/Bombardier C919 is so cool man. It's really the successor to Bombardier's commercial airline initiatives that got nuked by Boeing and the DOJ.

Seriously. Fuck Boeing and fuck the DOJ.

Boeing, based in Arlington, Virginia, delivered 24 jetliners in May, including 19 Max jets. Ireland's Ryanair got four and Alaska Airlines took three.

the Alaska Airlines jokes just write themselves.😂😂😂
