Pilots Can't Control the 737 MAX...

A new proposed airworthiness directive (AD) by the FAA highlights more control issues on the 737 MAX and shines a light on Boeing's poor quality control... #737max #boeing #aviation #planespotting #airbus #787 #737 #airplane #avgeek #boeing737 #faa

The problem is corporate greed over quality and safety

[PhatDog]

This is what happens when money becomes your priority, not safety or quality

[cooldud]

I remember reading a Reddit thread of a former Boeing engineer. He mentioned how the higher ups were firing the engineers who weren’t giving the “go ahead” on certain designs. They’d bring in a new guy that would bend the knee for the corporate overlords. And here we are with planes that aren’t built with absolute precision.

This is what happens when the FAA allows companies to check their own work

[Jesus_the_Muslim]

Airbus headed by an engineer. Boeing headed by an accountant.

[zaram]

The FAA also needs to be investigated.

[InaamHussain-iw]

And the former Boeing engineer whistle blower also found just a coincidence?

[gb]

The main problem is the executives moved headquarters away from the engineering site. Engineers were no longer included in the decision making process because of greed, safety took a back seat.

It's not poor quality control.. It's criminal negligence.

I saw an interview with a Boeing employee that was asked if he would fly on the plane he was building. After a pause he said no.

What we have learned over the years with past plane crashes is that even the tiniest, simplest defects (when ignored or overlooked) can lead to catastrophic failure.

[davidstager]

This corporate greed is ruining America in all aspects.

[ciroalberto]

You missed the opportunity to name the video something like "spoiler alert: another problem for the max 9"

[govols]

If it's Boeing, I'm not going.

[cunus]

How any aircraft manufacturer can skimp on safety is truly reprehensible. The FAA and US government needs to have a thorough inquiry into how Boeing handles its business.

[AnurupaDatta-pu]

Well looks like the Boeing 737 MAX is the DC-10 of the 21st century.

[allengarcia]

Yeah honestly they should scrap the whole fucking plane, start again from scratch, and never give it the max name ever again

[gretafinz]

As a professional software tester, I’ve noticed how top management views the entire QA process as a hindrance. They forget that finding a problem early in testing is a lot safer and cheaper than letting the users experience those serious failures.

[yewenyi]

Well, I don’t know what the problem is. I mean missing doors, falling off wheels, spoilers deploying accidentally, just a normal day at the office…

[ryandoe]

Spoilers are not to slow the plane down. When spoilers are up, they do create drag which does slow the plane, however, pilots use spoilers to lower a plane’s altitude without pointing the nose down and increasing speed. The spoilers, spoil the air flow over the wings which decrease lift.
