> Aviation is safe. An issue happened and appropriate steps have immediately happened and in the end an already incredibly safe industry will be even safer.
Nobody is questioning the safety of aviation in general. This is a focus around a company that has taken a nosedive in terms of quality of planes delivered for the sake of the mighty dollar.
Insiders have confirmed numerous cost cutting measures from the C-level executives. To my awareness, nobody has gone to jail. Fines issued.
> If a car has an issue we don't blink and we loose nearly 40k people a year in the US alone, but a plane has an issue and we panic
Recalls are issued yearly across a wide number of manufacturers and models. I don’t get your point here. This is not panic. This is poor design and/or quality making it’s way into production with high probability of causing bodily harm to driver and/or others.
> You want flying cars? Stop panicking at statistically minor issues. Panic and fear are why it was easier to heavily modify the already massively modified 737 design to create the 'max' instead of just designing a new plane. It is nearly impossible to bring innovation to market because of panic and fear. Over reporting and sites like this are increasing fear and panic when we should instead be celebrating a system working as it should.
Yea let’s just ignore decades of safety requirements because we wAnT tO iNnOvAtE. GoVeRnMeNt ReGuLaTiOn BaD.
