given the number of jets in the sky at any given time I'm surprised more of this doesn't make it to social media

true, I don't think the bean counters that have Boeing in a stranglehold give a rat's arse, and really neither does the public, they're just looking for the cheapest ticket price

A pilot told me directly since I was part of the crew and needed the information to brief the rest of the crew and come up with an action plan to accomplish the original mission.

Nothing screams safety like putting accountants in charge of an airplane manufacturer.

it's always been a curious thing to me, that in mergers/takeovers, that the weakest side with the least to offer usually ends up running the show, at least in this biz

That was going to be my next point. You 'acquire/merge' with a shite company and the people who made it a shite company gets high management positions in the successful company.

Same but previous employer.
I take it that your company acquired the failing company middle/late 2000s.
If you don’t want to answer I understand.

yeah, it was the chic thing to do, everyone else had already did it

If it’s the airline I am pretty sure that I am thinking about they did stuff or had incidents that you would think only happened in movies or tv shows.

Not your company. The one your company acquired..

oh yeah, that company and the one that they'd merged with a few years prior should have been out of business decades ago, but kept afloat by high powered politicians
