Boeing 737 MAX 8

I’m sensing a pattern with Boeing and United.

I'm glad I don't fly United.

I'm here for it.

I live and work in the flight path of our airport and I just had to replace a car earlier this year. Can't afford another one of the wheels of the Southwest flight to LAX fall off as I'm driving across I-80

Investigators: Boeing Overwrote Security Footage Related to Jet Door That Blew Out

Time to start making arrests...

If a person actually thought that and wanted it known, and was as smart as him, they would have told many more people, and written it somewhere that would be public.

In all honesty, the fact that we only have a angry friend or relative saying this, and no text, email, written note, public announcement, or something like that seems to actually make me think that person is lying and he never told them that. They are just angry and making a claim that has no proof to it. I would have to see more examples of this to believe this was not made up by a person angry over his death who cannot admit it was suicide.

Why would Boeing wait until after he spilled all the beans to kill him? At that point death only brings more attention to the deposition. I could believe an angry person who was planning to kill themselves because Boeing took away their career and life would accent their deposition with their death. I also think if this person truly felt their life was in danger of being snuffed out they would leave a ton of signs saying they were not suicidal. Instead this person went about seemingly hiding their suicidal thoughts from everyone during a time when everything was being taken away from them. That would be the time a person who was not hiding suicidal thoughts would be reaching out and talking about how hard things were having their whole life's work being taken away.

From what I understand of whistleblowing, and from what I have seen of being driven from your career by a hostile work environment and blacklisting, when you are fucking happy and telling everyone everything is OK, that is when you have a plan you are trying to cover up. When you do not have a plan and your life is being torn away from you, that is when you cry out for support and in pain.

Why? It is pretty standard to erase security footage after thirty days. Unless you require a company to save all their footage for a future look at things, they are not going through the costs of backing up that footage beyond a certain amount of time. That is not even nefarious.

every security footage system I know deletes the recorded records after a certain amount of time and overwrites them at a point when they think there is no more use for them.

I think it may be time to make some regulations that places like boeing save their maintenance recordings and data for at least 5 years. Since it seems they are in a unique position and data storage has become so cheap.

What I do find a little bothersome is there should be some QC sign off and employment records for who was working in that area and at that time. There should be some sign offs on who did the work on that particular jet. I can go down to the tire store and they can bring up every visit my car has had to that store and every tech who worked on my car during that visit because they are all assigned the work order and that info is all stored in a database. My car's history of major repairs and the sjhops it was done at are now stored in the database places like carfax uses, and that is all attached to the title. There may be no security footage, but there should be a work order with a tech sign off, an a work record of who was working those days who could have been assigned to that project. That needs to be regulated and implemented on planes, trains, and automobiles.

BTW these details I am talking about are certainly recorded by Boeing. Not because of safety regulations, but because every company as big as they are wants to know the productivity of their workers so they record who does what and when because they use that for employee reviews and productivity management.

So when they say they don't know who did that job a few months ago, they are full of fucking shit because they micromanage the fuck out of worker's time. They have corporate analysts who live for that data, and there is no way a company that big is not juicing every little bit of time from their employees.

That headline is sensationalist. There's no conspiracy. As is normal practice for almost all companies that use security footage, recordings are maintained for a rolling 30-day period and then overwritten if the footage isn't needed for something. From the article you posted:

"In this case, the plane in question was repaired sometime prior to October 31, which is the date when it was delivered to Alaska Airlines for use. The plane’s troubled flight occurred on January 5, some two-ish months later, which would’ve put it outside the 30 day window."

Gizmodo can suck a dick.

I read that as 'the size of crayons' and it'd still track

I am starting to think with Beoing regulating trans people off the flights is actually an act of caring. Losing a few cis people off the plane isn't so horrible as losing a few of the much smaller number of trans people making the world better with their presence.

Hey hey, I am joking. I don't fly because I have to check my legs when flying because they do not fit. Boeing really has it in for poor people with short legs.

I did too.

That would be my luck to avoid flying because the passengers are rabid monkeys jammed into a flying tube only to be killed by some MAGA karen who fell out the gaping plug hole like the convict from Con Air.

I think that is actually ironic, someone get Miley Cyrus on the phone for her Alanis remake.

Boeng doesn't deserve to be saved.

Superman's really regretting that quip right now.

Wow. An actually funny and relevant Penny Arcade.

I posted this in the TechForge thread about the Starliner. Scary that Boeing is sending people into space.

(And yes, I shopped the photo myself!)

Boeing CEO and Other Execs Stepping Down Amid Safety Crisis

Good thing executives have golden parachutes. I am sure they will be fine unlike anyone who gets sucked out of a doorplug.

It is great Boeing execs are taking the multimillion dollar exit package, but what I really want to know is what is happening to the guy who has a bunch of extra door plug securing bolts floating around in his toolbox.

Too bad said golden parachutes weren't literal and they just look pretty when deployed from that corporate boardroom skydive...

Suicide Mission
What Boeing did to all the guys who remember how to build a plane

This can't be true. I've been assured that Boeing's problems are because of DEI.

You’ll never guess the airline.

United?
