Parent comment was useful. Yours is just childish.
How useful was your comment?
We're not a corporation, we're not measured by any form of effectiveness or efficiency, we're just people posting comments on a relatively obscure platform.
Excuse me while I make childish comments about how absurd the media is. :/
I mean they're not wrong though that's what it boils down to.
Some dude in a suit throwing a fit because green number must go up.
I’d personally say it was useful. It’s a commentary on the article itself about the problem. Yes, Boeing has a HUGE problem lately, but is it actually worse than any other flying plane or jet manufacturer or is media hyping some of it up more because of recent events?
I haven’t looked, but I would love to see stats of incidents of each airline compared to their entire running fleet. It may be like crimes per capita where yes there may be a lot reported, but really minor and small compared to the inventory actually flying.
Is this an airline problem? A build problem? I am not an aviation aficionado so I honestly have no clue. I am not saying let Boeing off the hook for the shit they’ve pulled, but I want to know more in general about the aviation industry and safety.
Minor incidents happen all the time in aviation. They have pretty high standards for what is considered an incident. There will always be incidents that can regularly be reported on.
Boeing has some major safety issues. That is a real concern. However, national news is over reporting minor incidents with boeing planes, while being sure to mention boeing in the headline, because they know people will click on any article with boeing in the title. Scared people click on scary headlines.
Incidents with other aircraft are reported locally, and they just say "airplane" in the title.
