Because they aren’t Boeing employees and the FAA really doesn’t like having whoever Spirit sends and Boeing doesn’t control to access the data.

The first f’ing words out of Calhoun’s mouth was to take sole blame.

“Spirit has a vested interest in shipping sloppy product to Boeing”

Hey, wait a minute - those aren’t light sabers!

 More. About 2 bananas.

Nikki Haley on SNL is a splinter under the skin of the Crying Orange; seems like a fair use to me. 

Oh dear, do keep up.

Finished reading the reports already? Did you see the way the wheel trim switches over-rode the MCAS system instantly?

By buying a plane ticket you have made a choice to avoid 10000 or more chances that some vehicle operator near you will cause an accident fatal to you.

Airbus could have built the software to prevent a high-energy descent to impact the ground. They saved a lot of money and rushed the plane out.

Good news - it doubles the number of trips as they only lift from one side at a time. It unemployees the guys who used to sling it into the truck. It adds a new gawdawful sound to fill in even a moment of silence and that is adding to the misery of removing the nearly 70,000 parking spaces in a city where parking…

Like clockwork, another small plane has crashed, killing people on the ground for no apparent reason but, from 13,000 laser strikes, not one related crash or instance of permanent harm.

Almost every job is selling your body. Whether it is from physical labor or use of the brain - all body parts. 

The nice thing is the visual effects of the green lasers, the main culprit, are diminished or eliminated with rose colored glasses, but the pilots refuse to protect themselves.

It’s not exactly a Washington airport - Dulles is in Northern Virginia. It was the site of Transpo 72, a place I got to see the Blue Flame salt flat car display and a Vulcan heavy bomber fly overhead. Lots of promise for the future. Unfortunately several deaths from the airshow ended future events.

There was no additional training for MCAS because MCAS is an extension of the Speed Trim System and there is no training for that either. Both operate the aircraft trim to meet handling requirements, one to reduce forces and the other to discourage the pilot from stalling the plane, the way AF447 was stalled and…

They used MCAS because, ultimately, they found during high-G, low speed, wind-up turns that they needed a little more force on the control wheel to meet the FAA linearity requirement. This is the sort of maneuver reserved for spiral dives into contested airfields when surface to air missiles are used.

I’d say you must be an Ethiopian shill. They have since put in a big buy for MAX 8s even though they claimed in their report that Boeing engineering was so terrible they would not trust any of it.

Can we just grab them by the posse? 

On top, many of those countries see regular assassinations of federal judges. Here if a federal judge has his parking spot blocked, people are called. Not saying they shouldn’t call, just noting the gap is huge.
