Hang in there.

"Life will have its up and downs... Unless you're using our autopilot, then it's just pretty much down."

The thing is MCAS fucking used to overpower manual commands, unless you actually followed some specific procedure to disable it
Edit: And boeing didn’t think it was necessary to tell the pilots about this
- Yeah, it would have been a completely horrifying and infuriating way to die, especially for the pilots who probably had a pretty good idea of what was happening but just never got told how to deal with it
  Also, it just blows me away that the corporation as a whole got charged with felony fraud, fraud which caused the deaths of hundreds of people, and they still just get to be a company after saying sorry and paying a little fine. When Fuckup Beauregard III decides to rob his local gas station with an unloaded gun and the clerk dies of a heart attack (or when his accomplice Cletus gets shot and killed by a responding police officer), the felony murder rule will kick in for him and say "someone dying as a result of your felonious behavior is legally equivalent to you intentionally murdering them," but that sort of thing just doesn't ever happen to rich and powerful people.
- They also only used data from a SINGLE sensor for a safety critical system, which is a cardinal sin in aviation. The plane already has two angle of attack sensors, you couldn't write a few more lines of code to have it use both of them? Not only did they not do that, they even went so far as to make the alarm that warns when the sensors are mismatched a paid option. They wanted airlines to fucking pay extra for the privilege of knowing when something on their plane isn't working properly.
The Boeing Autoland feature is activating.
Please do not resist.

This is why Airbus is superior

You know because they actually have real regulations and consequences for not following proper guidelines in the EU

Also because it was made up of former WW2 engineers at the forefront of innovation including Messerschmitt lol. Boeing made big chungus prop bombers, never any jet fighters or even prop fighters. ^/s

Boeing big chungus
- Huehuehue
- mmmmm
  thicc
Boeing got so caught up in their military contracts for the US war machine that they forgot that some planes aren't supposed to kill people.

What's the sound of the doors popping off mid-flight?

"Boeing!"

When is Boeing going to have a Blowout Sale for the Max's?

Might as well clear out some DC-10's they have in the back while they're at it.

‘A plane that goes up must also come down’

Imagine sitting next to the door and having to go to the bathroom.

That wouldn't happened. You would have already peed yourself.

When Boeing closes a door, he opens a window

Boeing: opening new portals of aviation!

Too soon

For the door to blow off? I agree
- I’d didn’t just blow off, it rapidly dissembled from the plane in an unscheduled emergency.
No one was seriously injured or died. I don't see how it could be too soon.
It was a serious incident, but not a catastrophe. Joking about it seems fine.
I missed this news... What is being referenced?
- A door blew out mid-flight on the same plane which crashed 2 times because of a design flaw, early investigation revealed several loose bolts
- I don't wanna be that guy but how the actual fuck did you miss this news? It's been talked about on repeat on literally every news avenue for the past week. Including every single social media platform including reddit and lemmy.
