Lucky for United, this one wasn't one of their planes... They can claim 4/6 though.

Just boarded an Airbus heading to LAX. Thank you Airbus.

That said, the new Boeing fleet for Delta is pretty damn nice. At least I’d die in comfort.

It is going to take A LOT of crashes with fatalities before flying becomes more dangerous than driving.

I think it’s the idea of mass fatalities that freaks everyone out.

If 4/6 were United, may it's United screwing up and not Boeing.

I’m pretty sure it has more to do with shitty maintenance from United… Southwest and American aren’t having any of these problems.

Or maybe this stuff happens regularly, but the media is latching onto every airline story like the leaches they are

No one is reporting Airbus mechanical issues in flight.

I assume that mechanical issues in flight are not that uncommon.

So Boeing is responsible for blown tires now? Ridiculous “news” article.

The 777 is one of the safest planes flying. Entry into service was 1995, first fatality was 2013 when Asiana pilots fricked up and landed short in San Fran.

Two more happened in 2014 when one was shot down, and the other was MH370 that went missing, highly suspected it was pilot caused.

American just changed my Cancun from an Airbus A321 to a 737. I hope you guys don’t forget to make a memorial thread for me.
