The US transportation secretary announced on Wednesday afternoon that no grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 would return to service “until it is safe”, after Alaska Airlines announced the cancellation of all flights on its 737 Max 9 planes at the direction of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Pete Buttigieg said he was “not putting a timeline” on when the FAA will allow the planes to resume flights.
Every plane that the US aircraft manufacturer delivers “needs to be 100% safe”, Buttigieg added.
He said he has spoken to the head of Boeing and told him the company needs to do everything it can to establish 100% confidence in its planes.
Every insider said this the last time they had issues with the Max 8. Now here we are again. It absolutely infuriates me. I work for a medical device company in procurement. I’ve had to deal with these asshats coming in and recommending outsourcing and screwing our local vendors to save a few bucks… Then, surprise! We get shit parts, and it costs us a ton of resources to fix the issue, but hey we’re"saving money" right? Some companies shouldn’t be publicly traded.
But I was told any option but unhindered capitalism was pure communism.
Jesus, politicians need to grow a pair and actually help people. What do you need to do to convince them?
Defenistration.
Well that’s a start.
Being able to read Chinese characters, I had a really hard time seeing your name as you intended it…
What’s it say?
Interesting. On kbin I just see “ElBarto”. After seeing their comment I went through the original URL to see the Chinese characters.
I can’t see it anymore for some reason - it doesn’t mean anything really but I remember the first character being 毛 which is hair haha
Yeah I ended up changing it, people kept pointing it out so now I’ve made it clear.
Same where I work. I feel like I am fighting a losing battle to keep us in control of our own products.
