Delta Air Lines Plane Loses Part In Mid-Flight, Makes Emergency U-Turn

Not sure if we're just hearing about more things now but there seems to be a major competency problem currently across all industries in this country.

Something fishy about the way all of these issues are being reported. Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset that it's being reported, but these kinds of mishaps have always happened.

I always assume there's an agenda when it comes to how stories and themes are spun up.

My take on it is that there's an organized push to make people uncomfortable with flying. We already know there are pilot shortages and airlines are having a hard time with fulfilling their commitments.

Just rest assured that in the end the consumer loses.

I am flying American next month to Vegas. This stuff makes me not want to fly

Haven’t flown in over a year and don’t plan on it. Business trips I’m driving, and if it’s a place I can’t drive to then I don’t need to be there anyway

I am pretty conservative and feel like most of DEI is ridiculous, but blaming every maintenance issue on it is silly. These airplanes run almost continually. Things break.

Important to note that, according to the linked story, this was an AirBus A330. Not Boeing this time.

It's pretty clear that "plane maintenance issue" stories are getting clicks so they're reporting every time a flight has an issue when it would've been a non-story before. Yeah DEI stuff is stupid but saying "see! Them woke DEI hires cain't even turn a wrench!" with zero evidence every time a panel is cracked is stupid too.

This stuff is more common that you think. Just think its getting more attention now for whatever reason.

Yep! 40,000 domestic flights a day. shite happens.
The important part is that people rarely die.
Are we gonna start reporting everytime a Ford breaks down on the highway? Will the politards blame it on DEI at the Ford factory? Or have Fords always been shite?

Indeed.

An example of how the media manipulates people is how often certain stories aren't reported. Medical Errors account for many, many more injuries and deaths than people realize. Imagine if the media reported every story where a healthcare provider accidentally killed someone in the hospital. It would be the equivalent of a 737 crashing every day.

I am going to wait for Stout to create the official thread on this, you are stealing his jam.
