This is deceptive, intentionally.

No matter if the vehicle is safe to fly or not, some people may not feel comfortable flying on one. The only justification of overturning 80+ years of airliner industry precedent in eliminating the specific vehicle type from the descriptions is to deceive.

What if both were true? And designers and engineers worked together to clean the UI from possibly wrong and noisy information in the results brief? Teamwork makes the dream-work.

The data was wrong all along but the management didn’t want to remove it until they finally realised that it’s creating a negative revenue pressure.
