Another Boeing 737 Max-8 crash

The plane experienced an instrumentation black out. https://nypost.com/2024/03/11/world...g-787-jet-that-nosedived-recounts-the-horror/

 

But what about diversity.

We MUST have diversity!

 

Yes, and have diversity.

 

If by "diversity", you mean blending Mcdonnell Douglas and Boeing, then you have a point.
Retrace the history, you'll find when the shit started.

 

Yeah! Yeah! That's what I was talking about!

And here I thought all this BBS had JODS....

 

From Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing

"after the merger there was a "clash of corporate cultures, where Boeing's engineers and McDonnell Douglas's bean-counters went head-to-head", which the latter won." Fuck all bean counters. Fuckers never look at cost of poor quality when they are blindly banging away in their Excel sheets. The final death knell was when Mullaly left to become CEO at Ford. That guy was an engineer that already had a good nose for cost efficiency. It shouldn't always be about overall costs. See what he did at Ford to know he would've been good as Boeing CEO. Bean counters with no awareness of the product should be shot.

The only reason I can think of that McDD won the power control battle after this "merger" is they had the stronger DoD division. They sure as shit didn't have the better commercial business. Keeping the Boeing name should be proof that it had a stronger standing. They needed to change the name back to McDonnell Douglas in the early 2000s because it stopped being Boeing then. Too bad getting money from the DoD is so easy. Everybody that talks about Gov spending waste needs to start with them. Since DoD is so secretive we never know if the Government gets their monies worth but the "Boeing" Starliner project is likely similar to how well Boeing delivers on their DoD projects too.

 

I don’t think about the share price when I’m flying but I did have a perfect approach to about 100 feet and decided to go full newb and plop the plane down. I was laughing on roll out. O well i got 9 more legs in two days to redeem myself. Already flown 9 in 3 days.

Had a Wind shear caution two days ago and I nail the landing then finally it’s calm and I carrier land it. Stuff just happens in aviation

 

No. But the shock or g load from a sudden jolt has been know to eff up stuff. And clearly they all died and The news people called in John Edward to get all the facts from their disembodied spirits....oh wait. So either the lights came back on, or the co pilots gauges kept working, or maybe the pilot did what he was supposed to and hit the reset button and they all came back.

Actually...now I really want to know this hero's name...not so I can thanks him or S^&* him off...so I can make sure he is never near the pointy end of the aluminum tube I am flying in. I think the FAA really needs to investigate....the captain for being a scared, whiny lil' Beyotch. If he cant fly with gauges he clearly has business flying several hundred people around. I mean I cant believe the plane didnt immediately go into a "engine stall" , flip over and fall out of the sky, without gauges......GAUGES.....you dont UDNERSTAND WE MUST HAVE THE GAUGES!!!!!!!

 

Shit I think i was on that flight. I swear we trapped the 3 wire on the Enterprise going into DFW on Sunday in and CRJ-900....About lost a filling.


Guy must have lost his gauges.....even though it was CAVU and 9am....

 

So this could happen on final approach in bumpy IFR conditions? That wouldn't be a great time to go dark.

 

An instrument blackout would totally cause a plane to just suddenly drop a few hundred feet altitude. Yep, makes perfect sense.
Wouldn't possibly be the other way around.
Nah, no way.

 

It shouldnt. It shouldnt even in heavy turbulence. But it wasnt a brand new plane. So to just blame Boeing instead of the airline maintenance guys is crazy.

Now the door plug is 100% them and their cost cutting bean counter BS. But unless this another design or assembly flaw we dont know about...its probably some tech guy messing up something.

 

hah I’ve been with some people that just cannot land these planes. Mine wasn’t so bad but it pissed me off because I had flown a great flight up until that damn buzzard at 100 feet coming by us caught my attention…. That’s my excuse

 

I got one word for you:

Donuts.

 

And you shall have it. From a news article (not a joke).

WASHINGTON (TND) — The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) "targeted disabilities" policy drew criticism from public figures Monday.
The guidelines, announced in March 2022, set an annual FAA hiring goal of 3% for severely impaired employees. The listed disabilities include psychiatric and intellectual impairments, complete and partial paralysis, blindness, deafness, missing extremities, epilepsy and dwarfism.

 

Not saying you're wrong, we weren't there. The gauges going down was maybe simply a strong visual aspect during the loss of control. Also the plane was probably they were on auto-pilot and it kicked out (just assuming here).
I'm not a pilot but if shit hits the fan, my 1st reaction would be to consult the gauges... They being dead would not be inspiring confidence, but the pilots would certainly remember that detail during a debrief....

 

Yeah man, I want a one armed, blind, dwarf, with schizophrenia, piloting my flight to Germany. Hang on.....let me update my life insurance policy....

 

Did @Dave K lose an arm…?
