Now they’ve found loose bolts on Boeing AirMax. Fuck me dead those things are a flying death trap. It seems Boeing have learnt nothing from the MCAS tragedy.
Would not set foot on one of those things if you paid me and I don’t care who has allegedly certified them.
They should be pulled. How many “there was an issue but we fixed it” do they get?
For now they’ve all been grounded so that’s a good start. But what is the next issue going to be? Something very rotten in Boeing remains.
Boeing did have a few crashes in the 1990’s, due to a faulty servo motor in the rudder.
Meanwhile they are claiming to the ATSB that a flap issue in the 737-800 is non-safety critical, therefore a change in procedures is not needed.
It’s also going to be interesting seeing the root cause. Tool control is pretty strict in Aviation, and they will be able to identify the exact torque wrench that was meant to tighten up those bolts.
