You could always brute force comparisons between different mods

I wonder if it’s cheaper to just store and vend the censored version from a CDN? Though maybe they could just do the censor step in the app, idk

You should read what’s done in an annual. For GA, aopa had a good article recently talking about doing the right maintenance because doing everything your AP suggests may be more intrusive and less healthy for the plane. It’s not as aggressive you’re claiming.

Also as others note, age matters in determining where the issue came from. Eg this almost certainly isn’t a Boeing issue.

As a new pilot I really recommend watching the show Mayday Aircraft Investigations, it’s very informative. The accidents are for commercial aircraft, but still I think seeing all the details and the root causes and breakdown in process is enlightening even as a private pilot.

I’m pretty immune to fucked up shit, but I didn’t like reading that. I also like dogs…

There are varying levels of quality of service in different countries due to shipping infrastructure, partnerships, content restrictions, etc, and I’d say that ties into the cost.

Their manufacturing is suspect on anything new, but also the max line has several fundamental problems outside of this that have not truly been addressed.

The FAA already grounded their fleets.

I’ve been avoiding the max like the plague, but my first flight on one was today after reading about the Alaskan flight. I wasn’t near where the plug is afaict, and it was a good flight, but I did have a firm grip on the seat in front of me for the first 20k feet

Watch the documentaries, the former MD board basically took over Boeing, moved leadership out of WA to Chicago, set up separate plants (one in Georgia not sure if there are more) to counter union/worker demands in WA, etc. This has been a long process resulting in the rotting of the company from the inside out. The 787 was the first example of their garbage - - even though I like the plane, it had a lot of issues.

That’s mainly for their blue collar jobs afaik

I’ve spent my whole life with the time changing, I’m adapted now and expect being able to sleep in later when it stays darker out, I don’t want this to change
