Fight Club - The Recall Coordinator's Formula

@lolennui "If A times B times C is less that the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
@lolennui they had the silly decimal a bit too far right.
@lolennui Okay, answer me a question?.. Does ANYONE here think that is NOT a calculation in any companies' business plan?

@sjcooke66 @lolennui It's because commercial aircraft failures are comparatively few and far between, but when they happen the consequences are high and therefore regarded as intolerable in the general public's risk management hierarchy.

Meanwhile, society blithely accepts that orders of magnitude more people will be killed and maimed in auto accidents on an ongoing basis, and nothing gets done at a systemic level about average vehicle size, road speeds, and other proven harm reducers.

@phil_stevens @sjcooke66 @lolennui

Um, just two years after first delivery to a commercial operator, the 737 Max had twice dived into the ground after a single attitude indicator failure on each plane. Do you blithely accept that?

@artemesia @sjcooke66 @lolennui Not at all.

For context: 346 in the two uncontrolled nosedives is about the same as three days of US road deaths. The airline fatalities get our attention, while the others are regarded as background noise.

@phil_stevens @sjcooke66 @lolennui

For context, no american made automobile has caused a death per 250 trips.

Boeing screwed the pooch, and they're in a very deep hole. Bleating about airline mileage advantageous overall death rates isn't going to change that. They did the 737 max, and have yet to own it (waves of execs fired).

@lolennui I don't really like this but it could be The Onion
@lolennui It's only the beginning. :/

@lolennui 👍👍 You nailed it!
@lolennui Business Intelligence has written a heartfelt apology to shareholders for their shortsightedness. Engineers have been tasked with an overhaul of several key systems which should better enable them to suppress similar news in the future.
@lolennui I'm not flying on any more of those Boeing planes from now on.
@lolennui Are you sure they did? Their share price is down about 10% from a year ago. and up about 1% from two years ago. That's not what a company that's suffering looks like, it's what a company that just has to weather a little bit of short-term bad press looks like.
@lolennui It's outrageous. I expect Boeing to maintain the same level of quality in their commercial aircraft as they do in their military aircraft used to murder families abroad.
They promise to kill less people in the interest of profit.
