I think it may have been in the comments where some additional details were presented, as in it being related to a structural defect rather than “user error” or technical upkeep.
It reminds me of the situation with Toyotas where they kept blaming the driver for being heavy footed on the gas, and somehow the floor mats were blamed for killing people, until they found one car at the bottom of a lake… with the floor mats in the trunk (so zero possibility of that being the cause).
Back to Boeings: there were SENIOR pilots WITH SENIORITY (I simply cannot overemphasize just how crucial those words are in the aviation industry, though you likely know: it is simply EVERYTHING) who were walking away, quitting their jobs rather than fly those planes. Who in their right mind would train and work for literally decades, then at the very moment that you achieve your lifelong dream… turn it down and walk away? Them quitting under these conditions was an ENORMOUS wakeup call. And it wasn’t just a handful of them either, but so many that they affected the entire industry having to get by with less capable pilots.
Airlines have been held together with duck tape for something close to a decade now, and as we are seeing, planes are literally falling out of the skies.
… though mostly only outside of the USA, so who cares, amiright?! 🤢🤮(To clarify in case those do not go through, those are the sickness and vomit emojis)
