So, shithole 3rd world airlines don't properly train their pilots. Shock. Horror. Video at 11.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

No lak. Boeing sells safety features as extras and tells no one how to use them.

Then why aren't U.S. and European 737s falling out of the sky? The Ethiopian co-pilot had 200 TOTAL hours flight time, he'd never have been in the cockpit of any reputable carrier. Plus, they had a 737 Max 8 simulator but the pilot hadn't been trained on the aircraft.
The airline is responsible for the training of their pilots, not Boeing. If you fly on shitty airlines you take your chances, which is why I only fly U.S. and European carriers. If i can only get there on Nigerian Air I won't go.

Meh, I'll fly a Max 8 anytime, but only on a decent airline.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Honestly, was everyone raised by wolves or something? The military-industrial-political complex has been running things since, well, probably 1000 B.C., since the first Sumerian emperor put out a tender for chariots. It's all SHOCK! HORROR! - Trump's in bed with Russians, Hillary and Slick Willy suck Saudi cock for money, they are ALL corrupt and venal and self-serving. Boeing and General Dynamics and every other major defense contractor bribes the ilving shit out of any government official that's useful to them, it's been going on since the beginning of recorded history and it's never going to change, but the media and everybody is all shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED that this should be going on in our Honest and Pure Country! Grow up. Fuck it, give me my corruption up front and in your face. Give me a price list - passport is $5000, residence permit $2500, parking ticket $100, drunk driving $1000. It's the hypocrisy and twee preciousness that gets to me. The world is as the world is, and if you think anybody is going to change it you're deluded. AOC and Bernie and all the rest of the Angry New Breed are just fucking tools and puppets. Some of them are even stupid enough to believe they have some sort or real power. Lol. They'll learn.

Selling safety features as extras! Its a fucking plane. Not a household appliance.

It's the equivalent of charging people extra for brakes when they buy a car...Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 8:07 pmSelling safety features as extras! Its a fucking plane. Not a household appliance.

I'm glad Boeing don't make smoke detectors. $5 extra for an audible beeping, another $5 for a flashing light

How much for the super duper special batteries (only supplied by Boeing).
That is exactly how it works. Screw the customers that is what they are there for.

Re: Ethiopian Airlines crash: Boeing faces safety questions over 737 Max 8 jets
Yeah, except I'm right. Cars really do come with different safety features depending on price. I'm right about everything else too. There is the baseline standard they are required to meet and anything after that they charge more for.JimC wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 8:03 pmAnd you accused me of cynicism in another thread!Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:18 pmThat's just life. --got money, drive a safer car, live in a safer neighborhood, go to safer schools, have safer jobs, fly safer planes.

The reality is that Boeing probably has a great safety record. I don't know, but I'm always being told that flying is safe, and Boeing is the leading manufacturer....am I missing something?
