    WTF was Boeing thinking hiring a former CEO of a failed retail chain than an engineer for their CEO?
  • @serenityb5816
    I would never fly again if I had been a passenger on that plane.
  • Well, at least Boeing can still make spacecraft. Oh, wait…
  • @lauriec9183
    That’s what happens when you hire People who are not qualified to do certain jobs just to meet gov mandatory quotas instead of hiring intellectually qualified individuals period.
  • @williamshaw5388
    I’m never flying on a Boeing again. I bet those astronauts won’t either.😂😂😂
  • The dum as crew didn't tell the captain, there's a big hole in the airplane. Incredible. DEI personal everywhere. Now they want them in the cockpit.
  • @amstock5512
    A door plug detaches from the aircraft in midair, leaving a gaping hole on the side of the plane, and none of the aircrew thought to notify the captain before they landed?!
  • @BisherMelhem
    What happened to you Boeing and why you are doing that...?
  • @omgsrsly
    How exactly should the pilot have known what type of damage the aircraft had suffered? After an explosive decompression I don't think he had the time to go back and start an comprehensive investigation while his co-pilot is landing the plane.
  • Lets be brutally honest, these issues look bad but flight on commercial airlines is ridiculously safe these days, any danger you face is in the drive to the airport
  • @crazycarl00
    You absolutely should never step on an airplane ever again. It's not just Boeing. It's the airlines, the maintenance crews, everyone involved is falling in competency. The entire infrastructure of the country is at risk because we keep hiring dramatically under-qualified people to fill slots.
