I think this just highlights a whole different set of criticisms for these hearings. That they consist of a team of interns writing questions for a Senator who then reads scripted talking points for the camera with the same intelligence as Anchorman. 

She says pilot FOUR times. And then he calls her a stewardess which is still not a correct term for flight attendant.

If he wants to run with stereotypes, let me just say he looks EXACTLY like I expected.

I am shocked, shocked I say, to learn that this guy is a Republican. /s

I would be fine with this if they changed the character names and just made it another story in the Crow mythos.

I’m confused as to why people seem to think Keighley should be an activist. His shows are and have always been marketing shows. The only time he’s ever mentioned a publisher in a negative light was Konami and that was only after it essentially left the gaming industry and was no longer relevant.

Geoff is our Dorito Pope.

33 out of 89 is not only bad, it is extremely bad. For a company as mature as Boeing, it should be a humiliating result.

Yeah — the M&M problem...

There’s a story from back in the 80's about Van Halen having in their rider a requirement that the green room had to have a bowl of M&M’s with all of one particular color removed. People thought this was about bands being entitled, but in reality it was a safety test.

Simplicity in vehicles is all in vogue. You deal with smart TVs, touch screens, and streamlined visual aids throughout your day that auto makers want to similarly streamline the interiors of their vehicles. There’s also a monetary aspect moving towards more simplicity, as it means less be-spoke buttons and knobs to

Kook-Aid. I like it.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the obsession with re-inventing the gear shifter. The gear shifter as we know it basically is from the 1910s when they standardized the pedals. Stick on the steering column, dash or floor.

The dish soap is concerning, not because it’s dish soap or that it doesn’t work as they were using it. It’s concerning because it’s not spec. If workers unilaterally decided to use dish soap instead of what’s spec’d, you have to ask what else did they decide to change on the fly?

The dish soap itself wouldn’t bother me if it was in the assembly spec. But since it wasn’t there’s probably no paper trail of which planes got soaped up and which ones didn’t. Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn’t, but it does make me concerned about what other steps they’ve been improvising.

Same, I try and avoid them as much as possible now. 

Don’t denigrate kool-aid, man.

If you are able to put the windows down, you can get out.

It is all Tesla’s fault. Damn, the husband is so brainwashed from drinking the Tesla kool=aid. 

I realize that Boing planes fly millions of trouble-free miles per day. But I was recently buying tickets from NYC to LAX and made it a point to make sure the plane I was flying on was an Airbus. The more I hear and read about Boeing’s production the less likely I am to fly on one.
