Do you have further reading on this? First time I’ve seen someone suggest that Airbus has similar structural issues to Boeing when it comes to safety
- sgjohnson 3y agoI didn’t suggest that Airbus has similar issues. What I meant by the “entire industry” also includes the airlines. I suggested that had nothing changed, it might have been Airbus that was low-key blackmailed into making a new plane that’s of the same type, with similar issues that would become evident only after a couple of crashes. The very root cause of the issue was that Boeing was simply allowed to say “trust me bro, this is just a 737, it’s like any other 737, no retraining of any kind needed”, when, in fact, it wasn’t just the same old 737. Now this can’t happen anymore.
