DEI is growing everyday. Watch for it.
Why use the best qualified to service airplanes and other essential equipment, when others feel left out.
Its happening in the Medical field as well.

Update.

quote:

The aircraft, which arrived from Memphis, is said to have suffered some form of gear collapse as it exited the runway at George Bush Airport, although the 160 passengers and six crew were not injured.

Shocking footage showed the plane lying flat on its wings on grass by the side of the runway, while passengers were hurried off from an emergency gate ladder.

I recently learned there are ways to avoid 737 Max flights when booking.

Was there actually anything useful or just the standard bend over and kiss your arse goodbye?

Planes running off the end of the runways are typically not a plane issue. It appears that this incident is nothing more than pilot in control going a little too fast on the exit.

The consumption of pre takeoff Bloody Marys are going to go through the roof.

You wouldn’t be bitching about DEI, if you were black.

I try to. But just read about all the recent United mishaps and they are all IAH and SFO, the two airports I fly the most often. And not just the Max planes, the 737 too. I'm taking a whole Xanax before the next flight. Rx for flying anxiety, now I really really need it.

My neighbor was on this flight. Sounded like it scared the crap out of everyone, but they are all fine.
Gives me an uneasy feeling about my flight Sunday. These problems are happening way too often all of the sudden.

They'll still switch on you. "If it's Boeing, I ain't going!" is starting to catch on. Go woke, go broke.

Please tell us what did happen here because it certainly appears that it tried to exit the end of the runway a little too fast and skid into the ditch.
