Boeing Company (BA)

Thanks, although I'm sure I will be unmercifully attacked for the post by certain contributors here.

I agree about the seat stops. It's hard to believe that some sort of "switch" or latch on the seat controls would allow such an extreme forward movement as to jam the pilot into the control yoke.

It certainly seems like the majority of these incidents have been caused by the UAL maintenance and pilot group. Scott Kirby (UAL CEO) once again shot his mouth off and should have kept it shut.

Still, that plug door F/U never should have happened. Now that all the evidence in, it is clear that Boeing was indeed responsible for that one. I hope they fired everyone responsible for it and cut their *alls off. They lucked out that the incident happened at the altitude it did, and that no one was sitting in that seat adjacent to it. Still though...Alaska airlines. MMmmmm. I'd like to see what they did to xshoot all the supposed squawks they got in regard to the pressurization system problems that aircraft continually had. And was it an accident that no one was seated next to that fuselage plug, and that that particular aircraft was apparently forbidden to fly ocean routes? Accidents usually happen after a series of mistakes are made. I wonder if Alaska Air didn't try hard enough to find those pressurization anomalies.

We will probably never be allowed to see behind the scenes.

It is inconceivable to me that Boeing could have had anything to do with the death of that whistleblower, but certainly not impossible. I eagerly await the continued investigation of it.
