Could you imagine a pilot walking down the aisle to check to see if you’re bolted in like it’s a fucking circus ride

What? The seat pushed the pilot onto the controls?
Dear god.
Is anybody still flying with Boeing?
the seats came loose in turbulence or there were people milling around the cabin at the time . there is a difference .
> The Wall Street Journal reported that a flight attendant accidentally hit a switch on the pilot’s seat, which pushed the pilot into the controls, forcing down the plane’s nose.
God damn it. Cars have figured out putting those controls somewhere where nobody but the person sitting in the chair can easily reach them… but Boeing puts them in range of other persons? Sounds dumb.
Remember when we said “if it ain’t Boeing I’m not going”? Aged like milk.
Fuck Boeing
Since it’s Friday I’ll ask the dumb question. With all the issues why are the planes still flying?
Hold up.. there’s only two passenger plane manufacturers in the world, Boeing and Airbus?
*looks at train schedules*
>”We have taken the precautionary measure of reminding 787 operators of a service bulletin issued in 2017 which included instructions for inspecting and maintaining switches on flight deck seats.”
So Boeing has known for 7 years these switches are an issue and their solution is to do… nothing?
Check the seats for what? Shitstains?!
Ok wait a minute. The initial story was that the whole control panel had gone out and that the pilot told a passenger that after the plane landed. As much as Boeing has had troubles, those other stories smell like bullshit
And we know what happens if you don’t listen to what they say…
So they were doing the mile high club and pushed the controls. I dont buy this as a design flaw. Have u seen the cockpit? Switch and leaves and dials everywhere. Nothing is safe to touch, this Boeing is no different. The seat designs havent changed.
Will Boeing go on a killing spree now?
Looks like Boeing can’t catch a break !
You’re sitting in it wrong.
Why is there a switch that can do that accessable and even powered during flight.
This is why, when I’m in my seat on an airplane my seatbelt is secured. No way am I leaving it to chance whether or not something weird happens. For me it’s like an automobile seatbelt. Always on.
It has been a known problem for a while and boeing issued a fix a long time ago, this airline failed to follow recall instructions.
Check under your seat for the ~~winning ticket~~ evidence of failed safety in manufacturing!
After that, please also check the passenger seats to see if they are still in the plane.
Being told to check under your seats is great at the Oprah show but terrible on an airplane.
Didn’t Boeing just murder a whistle blower? Or was it an odd coincidence?
Just don’t say anything about it publicly, otherwise they’ll kill you.
This is what happens when you take an excellent aircraft manufacturer, led by aeronautical engineers and pilots, and replace them with MBAs. They are more concerned with stock prices then safe aircraft.
Can I avoid flying a Boeing plane without a avoiding flying? Is any particular airline not using their planes?
“check seats”? For what, poo? I’m pretty sure that Latam plane needs a complement of new seat cushions…
That’s the most bullshit story I’ve ever heard. WTF was a flight attendant doing leaning on the pilot’s seat?
Oh my god Boeing. They’ve designed stuff with only the best case in mind.
If these fuckers had any care whatsoever for their craft they would be doing a press conference by now clearing the air of all this but no, it makes too much sense and wouldn’t fit in with their arrogance.
Hope this isnt a PR stunt to get away from the whistleblower they assassinated
Check seats for stains from people shitting their pants. Although they probably shit their pants when the seats dropped out from under them…
At this point, it seems Biden needs to step in and ground the 737 Max.
Didn’t they initially say it was a technical issue?
“Also take a look at those engines, Fred left a wrench in one of those guys- and Anton is missing a pen”
what the fuck? the pilot initially stated the planes controls and the display panels all went dark and he had no control, now it comes out he pressed the controls when his seat was moved?
