🚨Breaking: Alaska Airlines Receives $160 Million Compensation from Boeing for 737 Max 9 Grounding
#BIG_News: In a significant development, #AlaskaAirlines has confirmed that #Boeing paid them $160 million in compensation during the first quarter due to the grounding of the #737Max9 #aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (#FAA) had ordered the grounding of 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 #planes after a #doorplug blew out of an Alaska Airlines flight, narrowly avoiding a potential disaster.
#DOJ launches #criminal investigation into #Boeing #DoorPlug matter.
Boeing has been in steady decline since it bought out McDonald-Douglas in 1997. Unfortunately, the profit-driven #management culture of McD subsumed the performance-driven #engineering culture of Boeing.
What is the aviation technical term for a popping #DoorPlug on a pressurised #Boeing aircraft?
A #QualityEscape valve.
The point of the M&M clause isn’t because they didn’t like brown M&M’s. It’s because these riders have all kinds of technical requirements to make sure the show is able to run (eg adequate power for equipment) or keep people safe (eg stage can handle the weight of the setup). Brown M&M’s are a warning that other, more important stuff could be wrong.
And that brings to mind #Boeing and the loose bolts on that #doorplug.
