Face it, Boeing, you have a lemon piece of shite on your hands. File for bankruptcy and call it a day. All hail Airbus!

This is what happens when your mission statement is diversity hiring practices instead of building safe airplanes.

Maybe Boeing should have bought switches from the Swiss. Now what?

737's have sold well.

Edsel's did not.

Your comparison is a fail.

The 737 has been flying since 1967. It’s probably the most successful airplane ever.

The Edsel? Not so much.

In the spirit of that mission, they should only be piloted by Bipoc and the passengers should be Bipoc with no ID. It is only fair.

This is what happens when the FAA gets embarrassed by missing something. Now they are going to go up arse wearing a coal miners hat.

But your point is also valid.

Nobody cares who built the switch. Name on side the plane says BOEING. The responsibility lies with Boeing.

Idiot.
