  1. I took my flight yesterday on a magnificent Airbus, confident in EU superiority.

  2. Only cost 13bn in public funds.

    13bn that Hans could have given to us. I am more than positive about Estate intervention if it wasn’t for that.

  3. Ive heard this several years ago, so it is unrelated to this.

    But in the circumstance I heard it, South Korea had problems with too strict hierarchical culture with pilots, resulting in second pilots not pointing out even obvious misstakes by the main pilot, so basically they wanted to learn from European countries (especially Nordic in this case) since they thought of us as with least hierarchical cultures, partly because of strong workers rights, but probably also just general culture, and therefore more likely to get these things pointed out.

    I think we take certain things for granted in Europe and forget advantages our labour rights give us relative to China and USA.

  4. Holy shit, the Korean plane was a Boeing?
    How is it possible to keep losing so badly?

  5. I once went on a night out in Bristol and back to some bloke’s house for the afters. There was ket, pills and coke flying around and everyone was off their chops. Got speaking to some bloke who was gurning off his tits and talking about how he had to be in work in 4 hours. I asked where he worked and he said Boeing.

    Not had a lick of faith in the company since then.

  6. How the fuck is Boeing still allowed to sell planes and why do they still have customers buying those deathtraps. Insanity but I suppose that’s normal in the grand US of A now

  7. capitalism is good for innovation but there are limits, and this is one, Americans pls regulate your industries I dont want to die

  8. >Strict EU regulations

    That’s where you got it wrong. The reason why its better than boeing is because there are less regulations in the EU surrounding air travel than the US.

  9. Muricans “innovated” so hard their planes started falling out of the sky.
