Just. Fucking. Stop. with these idiotic postings about every little *maintenance* issue that happens to Boeing aircraft.

I mean, I clicked on the article, so well done. Calling @WayDude here. I thought airliners blow a tyre now and then and that it's not a huge issue? Happy to be corrected, though.

Yeah I can’t even conceive how this could be framed as a Boeing problem. They don’t even make the tires!

Exactly.

I would think a tire issue is 100% an AA maintenance prob, and 0% a Boeing fault. I see you’re doing your best to generate a “Boeing sux!” meme, but associating tire concerns with the fuselage manufacturer is quite over-the-top.  It’s like blaming Morton’s salt for food poisoning....

Squatted trucks. I don’t need to say anymore.....

The Nissan Altima is the obvious answer, but there’s another that I’ve observed in my commute: Dodge Chargers. They’re getting up there in years and don’t hold value. As a result, they’re landing in buy-here pay-here lots and being snatched up by idiots. 

This. When the access to my Volvo’s phone app expired after 4 years they wanted $199/year for me to resubscribe — for basically an app that told me mp MPG on trips, could remote unlock the car and show where it was on a map. I hope my not buying this makes Volvo realize that I’m not playing their game, and the gall of…

This is the key.

Specifically - subscriptions for software that relies on services external to your car. That I’m ok with. Server and satellite time isn’t free.

If you are sheeple and don’t balk now, then go report to have a ring put through your nose.

I dont think this was suicide. If he really wanted to likely kill himself, he’d just fly on a Boeing plane once a week.

There is almost 0 chance this was a legit suicide, and the people that arranged this were ridiculously sloppy and careless with their planning. He was in the middle of testifying about Boeing (his life’s work the last few years) and wasn’t done! I don’t care how depressed you are, you’d at least see that through.

From what I read he drowned falling out of a window and down some stairs into an empty elevator shaft onto 47 bullets. The ME said it is the worst case of death by natural causes he has ever seen.

What’s your industry?  I think it’s bullcrap that the guy was fired for this.  Unless this was the straw that broke the camel’s back in a long line of mistakes, I think it’s too harsh.

How did employees not notice this issue for HOURS after they started seeing people line up? I think it’s harsh to fire the guy. I feel like there may be more to the story we’re not hearing. I know margins are thin, but come on. There’s not an automated way to catch this?

I don’t know how this is legal assuming it’s a North American unit. My Pontaic G8 screen didn’t even have basic nav functions because the NHTSA or whomever decided the screen was not high enough on the center stack to allow safe glancing while driving. in the G8 the screen was where the HVAC controls are in the photo…

Most people are also road tripping in something that gets better than 12 mpg.

Plus, it’s taking money and fuel away from the people running the gas station. They already have thin margins and tend to make their money from convenience items.

I mean, I’d fill up my car then let the station manager know but filling up three cars, calling in your family, posting it on Insta and having your cousin bring in a tanker seems a big egregious too me.
