What the guy in charge of HUMAN SAFETY at Boeing did was hire a Fox and put him in charge of guarding the hen house.

Yes - safe from fire and safe from smoke inhalation. There are more ways to die, or become injured, that COVID-19. What is your point?

Who is surprised? I certainly am not. Having grown up in the days of the Iron Curtain nothing would surprise me about them. Well, I would be surprised if they stopped lying!

Drones can already 'see' far better than any human eye can. Drones can 'see' in wavelengths that humans can't. However, it is the instantaneous decison making powers of humans which takes into account many different human factors that makes humans irreplaceable. No telling what will happen in the future but when one removes the human from the decision chain then one also removes humanity from the chain. It may be that we will have future fighters that are 90% drone, letting the computers fly the aircraft, and a human 'monitor' to make the final decisions where appropriate.

Please tell his attorney that we don't really care what his intentions were and we have no sympathy for him. I wonder what happens to his kid's college find now?

Well, Jim, we weren't talking Boeing buying its own options, or Airbus buying them. We were talking about much smaller outfits who often don't pay for options. If you had done your research and read a few industry articles you would know that. BTW - Safety is safety be it 2 people or 200. "? No idea, but who knows the needs and requirements of Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines better than Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines?" Don't you understand that economic pressure on small carriers have an inordinate influence on purchasing decisions? To them $80,000 dollars is a much greater percentage of the Return on Investment than it would be at Boeing or Airbus. Thus economic decisions have more influence on the overall purchasing decisions. Also, if $80K does not mean so much to Boeing, as you say, then why make the system optional in the first place? Why not leave it as a standard feature? Just as it is NOW, AFTER the accidents. Which, BTW, Boeing has taken full responsibility for.

You know John David.... you sound like a very arrogant fellow. You must have a terrible time trying to whip the world into your expectations and rules. Try to relax. Have some fun. These forums are, in the end, meaningless. They are a way for people to share ideas and suggestions but no one is manufacturing policy and procedure here. No one is “winning” and no one is “losing”. It is just another Internet forum. Real life transpired elsewhere.

This Just In: Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson demanded an explanation from Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in a letter Friday. "DALLAS — Boeing was aware of troubling instant messages between two employees regarding their communications with federal regulators over a key flight-control system on its now-grounded 737 Max jet, but the company waited months to disclose them. Federal Aviation Administration chief Steve Dickson demanded an explanation from Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in a letter Friday." Sully believes that BOEING failed its customers at the management level. Had they not done so we wouldn't be talking about dead people that were flying on BOEING aircraft. This entire chain of events would not have happened had BOEING done it right. Why should we even be talking about pilots who had enough training to deal with their whole world turning upside down while piloting an aircraft full of innocent men, women, and children at all? We all know that
