looks like maybe the exemption for the max 9 (and 8?) were bad decisions. surreal.

by StreetChief 3y ago
who do you think got the government to make those regulations?

by StreetChief 3y ago
not all boeings are bad, in fact, most are fantastically reliable, except for the newer versions with incredibly cheap design, that places extraordinary demands on pilots and their knowledge. There is a welchian management culture that is

this unfortunately requires management to fire themselves, which seems unlikely to happen. I guess maybe the government could step in somehow, or at some point.

To me, variant 7 is different than 8 and 9, and 7 should not be given special treatment because of its similarity to the others. Any discussion is meaningless?

From another comment, it seems (not surprisingly) the MAX 8 and 9 have metal housings, and is different from the 7, which has fiber housings. Maybe the reason they need this exemption in the first place, is cheaping out on the housing.

We owe pilots thanks, they really do take care of us when we fly.

if it's a human factor nightmare, it's not a valid solution, because there are humans involved.

rolling faulty max 8s is NOT ok, but it's expensive to fix, and boeing threatened congress (extortion) and got an exemption. [edit- the fact boeing can extort congress is scary]

Seriously!!!!!! Their history proves they are unreliable cost cutting fools.

it's not about WHERE they flew, it's about the fact they have _experience_ flying large, heavy, mechanical machines filled with fuel, in the air! These days, there are extremely limited possibilities to get experience flying plane

"this union is absolutely required for preventing death" and "i'm on the fence about unions" are two wild takes to see together. Why the triangle shirtwaist factory fire isn't enough to encourage people to like

the whole point of the exemption they are requesting is to avoid "taking a test."
134.
by StreetChief 3y ago
wait so, because similar planes have not had failures yet, i should accept risk of death for airline profitability?
135.
by StreetChief 3y ago
Pretty sure two wrongs don't make a right. The unsafe planes should definitely be grounded but that would be expensive. Just because we screwed up before, and exempted planes, doesn't mean we should knowingly continue to ignore da

I really wish more companies would use this strategy, it works so much better for everyone involved.

It's evidence to me of the LLM or whatever's inability to reason in the slightest. It's currently unsuitable and dangerous as is. [edit: In fact, we know how it is implemented, and it does NOT reason - there is no implementa

it's disgusting this was the effort required to get paid for their work.

It works for management and executives, that's who it works for.

Wow, the irony; a bully complaining about being bullied.
