The claim that Boeing is an arm of US policy is pure bull. Just look at what the US putting sanctions back onto Iran is costing Boeing in lost sales.
Nobody is dismissing the deaths, they're simply waiting for more information considering that the plane hadn't had any major issues until now (engine troubles on a Norwegian Air flight that resulted in a landing in Iran are not believed to have anything to do with the plane itself). If other airlines and pilots really felt that the plane was unsafe, they can always ground the plane themselves.
- jfk13 8y ago> hadn't had any major issues until now The Lion Air crash was a pretty major issue, surely! Major enough that Boeing is supposedly working on a patch, which was supposed to have been delivered already (but hasn't been). While we wait for more information on the Ethiopian case, the superficial similarities look worrying enough that "better safe than sorry" sounds like a more justifiable response than merely "let's wait and see".
- colde 8y agoI mean, it's not really completely made up. Just look at what happened with the CSeries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Boeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSeries_dumping_petition_by_Bo...
- anoncoward111 8y agoI retract my statement that Boeing is an arm of US government. President Cheetoh the aeronautics expert is going to break them up and we are all going to fly cessnas now Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1105468569800839169 https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1105468569...
