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.
It’s not weird. A company laying off employees when they don’t have to just to increase profits IS corporate greed.
A company dieing so that other companies that have (hopefully) not yet enshittified is not mutually exclusive with the above sentiment. Also, due to the relatively inflexible market demand, any other company taking over Boeing’s market share would need to absorb most of their skilled labour.
So why don’t you think the laid off Spotify employees will have an equally soft landing of just being absorbed into other companies?
Well it’s not like any other company is getting Spotify’s market share and needs to scale up their infrastructure
