re: The best explanation of what’s going on at Boeing
Posted by Cfrobel on 3/16/24 at 4:00 am
[quote]I see a lot of Boeing’s problems being blamed on the merger with McDonnell Douglas and the management takeover by MBA’s, but their planes are just as safe today as they have ever been. The 737 rudder design issue in the 90s happened before McDonnell Douglas[/quote]

Ah it's time for Karmew32's monthly 1998 KSU post. If only this facemask got called maybe KSU wouldn't have even been in the Big 12 title game.

[quote]- The 757 airframe should not have been hastily retired after 9/11. Instead it should have been modified. Then there'd be no reason for a MAX-9 or MAX-10 (or a A321).[/quote]
Sales were declining for the 757 with airlines interested in smaller aircraft. The Max 8/9/10 all have fewer seats...

Interesting you chose a picture of the A380, an aircraft that is already out of production and airlines are quickly retiring their fleets.
Airbus completely misread the future commercial market by producing a giant quad jet....

[quote]For you older guys - back in the 70’s and 80’s DC -10’s scared the crap out of me. I’d fly on a Max before a DC-10.[/quote]
The DC-10 got a bad rap early on, especially the AA crash that ended up being due to a bad maintenance procedure, but turned out to be a long haul/cargo workhorse.

There are lots of tests on YouTube showing how hard it is to ignite a pool of kerosene (jet fuel). Something has to turn it into a mist for it to be easily ignit...
