Ok, I will admit I'm no pilot, I don't work for an airline etc etc. I do, however, fly a LOT.
And it sure seems to me that Boeing can't get a break right now. And IDK how many aircraft they have up in the air on a given day, but it must be many thousands. And things like this are just inevitable.
Further, how many Boeing aircraft have actually crashed recently?
And of those crashes (if any), in how many of those were pilots or ground crews at fault?
Sure - Boeing may have some systemic issues to deal with, and maybe they aren't the same company they used to be (which isn't unique in this day and age), but the press have sunk their teeth in and won't let go. They are acting as if all of this is related and a somewhat new phenomenon. And my personal opinion is that their are many in the media who are connecting mostly unrelated dots, that they have taken aim at a great company - that does a lot of good for this world - and would like to see it fail. It's what they do to all great institutions...
My $.02 anyways...
