It’s not the quality of service that’s the problem, it’s the fact that it was only profitable because of artificially constrained supply that resulted in up to a $1mn barrier to entry.

This. Even within small industries, different companies do things differently. Boeing, Airbus, Embraer - aside from the geographic divide, they’ll all use different sets of software, different design systems, etc. It costs money to transition employees, and with highly skilled employees that can take months before…

the younger generations are already spending way less time at a company before moving on.

By wider workforce, you mean the workforce that can fog a mirror?

Neutral: Pre-Uber taxi services where supply was artificially constrained. Unless you can afford a $1mn badge to bolt to your car, you’re just the slave to the person that owns it.

Automatic lights are terrible at turning on early enough in rain, but people just assume that the car is doing the correct thing.

Meet McMike, the long dormant (I think?) king of Kinja Photoshop.

Unfortunately, the vehicle ahead didn’t (or couldn’t) get out of the way and the two vehicles made contact.

It seems the truck has never been undercoated

You need both. Looking at it as downforce being the integral of surface pressure over the area of the wing, both sides of the wing will have roughly the same area, so high pressure on the top is just as important as low pressure on the bottom.

737MAX split winglets are different than the Aviation Partners scimitar winglets on the 737NG. The MAX ones are relatively evenly sized, upper and lower. The NG ones are essentially the older blended winglets with an appendage on the underside.

No, this is clickbait, and the type of fearmongering that causes airlines to rebrand the planes. Non-clickbait approaches would be to start with the article that talks about the changes, but then people might not be afraid enough to actually click on these articles.

Well, tools wear out and are improved with time, but it would have meant that they could use 707 tooling for the 727, then 727 tooling for the 737 Original, etc.

Airplanes don’t like sitting around in general. There’ll be a bunch of work needed to each, in addition to any hardware updates needed as part of the AD.

Nah, it was the Lion Air one that was more suspect, given that the AoA sensors had just been replaced. Missing that the engines were still at TO while the plane was fighting all your other inputs I can somewhat understand, just from an overload standpoint. That to me is less egregious than the AF447 crash, which - was…

Fun fact: the 707, 727, 737, and 757 all have the same fuselage cross section. That way Boeing’s been able to use the same tooling for all of them.

Handelsblatt said the production Landjet will be a sedan that will be a rival to the next-generation Tesla Model S.

It was within 1000 votes in Florida. Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin are all above 10,000 vote margins (though Arizona will likely still get a bit closer.) There’s no way all three states get flipped.
