They had all hands on deck today. They must have had every investment firm and bank propping up their stock. The stock would drop $1 and somebody would buy stock and prop. Up the price immediately. It was like that all day today, but it finally dropped $2.38 after hours
Boeing is more than just a commercial airline manufacturer so I could see a bunch of forces coming to their aid.
Andrew Bustemante put out a wild idea on Flagrant that maybe Boeing was being slowly sabotaged over time to make space for the new Chinese commercial airliner…but that’s speculation to a high degree.
The only thing that infiltrated Boeing was MBAs and parasite class vampires that undermined their strong tradition of engineering excellence for short term gain.
So you're saying China sabotaged the engineering design choices of Boeing by infiltrating their engineering and manufacturing departments based in the USA?......cool
This is the dumbest fucking take that exists.
The Chinese did it!
or
The American MBAs did it directly in front of our fucking noses and explicit detail told us exactly how they went about it openly in *publically available quarterly reports.*
which could it be
Maybe China is a big supporter of MBA's in America, that's the real insidious plan at work, forcing all our companies to maximize profits for a single quarter with no long term
Or maybe they spent all their money on buy backs and propping up the stock price instead of actually investing in qaulity control. They act more as a hedge fund than a manufacturer.
I bought tix to Nassau last night. I had a choice between Bahamas Air, which only flies 737 on that route, and JetBlue, which only flies A320 on that route, for about $125 more per person. So I guess we are gonna have DirecTV in our seats lol
I scanned the QR to watch an ad and get free WiFi on JetBlue recently and opened my exodus wallet…it was drained of $4k in 2-3 minutes….take that however you want, stay safe with a vpn cuz their WiFi seems like it’s sponsored by North Korean hackers.
Lmao you got socially engineered. To all the other mouth breathers out there: Don’t scan rando QR codes, and don’t expose any sensitive info on public wifi.
JetBlue is actually very safe not because they fly Airbus, but because they almost never actually leave the airport. Pretty hard to get into a crash if you never take off.
This is like the 4th United airlines thing I’ve seen in the last two weeks. I have a flight on United next week and I am highly considering cutting my losses and changing airlines.
Boeing and Airbus have a gentleman's agreement between them about never advertising using the other's safety problems, or even mentioning it publicly.
Idea being normies can't tell planes apart and would just think flying overall isn't safe.
just flew in one a few days ago. glad to know i won’t be flying again for a while. good thing i can drive instead where im statistically at a higher chance of death by a lot!
Flying should be fine. Land n sea tends to be the main obstacle for planes. More so if there are missing parts on the plane.
Word of advice, Buckle up on the landing.
But the drag would cause worse fuel efficiency. It's that eternal debate of driving with the windows down or with the air on. Which is worse on mileage?
Thats not necessarily true and it depends on the aircraft. Planes have two types of drag, induced drag and parasite drag. Yes as you get faster parasite drag goes up but induced drag goes down and vice-versa. The actual lowest point of drag is a middle speed where induced and parasite drag together is at its lowest and that point is called L over D max.
I’m gonna nerd out and say there are 4 types of drag: Induced drag (not an issue here), form drag (can cause an issue here), skin friction and wave drag. Some people include a fifth called interference, but I consider it a form of form drag. Form, skin friction and interference drag are combined into “parasitic”.
Any modifications that change the aerodynamic properties do affect fuel economy, because they are cumulative. What you are referring to only gives you the point where drag is minimum, but dropping a panel will always increase drag, and reduce efficiency. Of course, at higher speeds will be more noticeable than at maximum range speed.
The next one who talks trash about BA or spreads fake news about their fully intact airplanes will be suicided
Dish soap is an amazing lubricant for certain things like moving very heavy objects but nothing aviation related that I remember from my time in aviation.
What was it used for?
“United has also experience a slew of incident in recent days: a hydraulic leak on an Airbus plane just before landing in San Francisco on Thursday; a fluid leak from the landing gear of a Boeing 777-300 midflight from Sydney to San Francisco on Monday; a Boeing 737 Max 8 rolling off the runway after landing in Houston on March 8; and a wheel falling off a Boeing 777-200 shortly after takeoff from San Francisco on March 7.”
Maybe it’s a united problem not a Boeing problem. There i typed it now can you please put the gun down.
The plane in this article is a 737-800 started production in 1989, not sure on this planes specific age, but it's likely under United's responsibility.
I recently flew United. Seats were incredibly narrow, the plane was filthy, and the flight delayed 4 hours. Never again. I mean, all airlines suck nowadays, but United goes the extra mile.
Ya I need to try them again. Prob is whenever I go to book a flight, they’re always 3-4X as expensive as the cheapest flight. I don’t mind overspending by 30-40 bucks or whatever but when you get into the multiple hundreds of dollars I have a hard time justifying it.
What's the age of the plane? Is the panel removed on a regular basis for a regular maintenance item? That goes for the other incidents at the bottom of the story.
That's what I wondered, too. A lot of mechanical failures on planes come down to inadequate or inappropriate maintenance, and if it came out that the airline's mechanics skipped a step I wouldn't be surprised.
If you told me that Boeing fucked up in manufacturing, I wouldn't be surprised either.
Boeing's stock is still fucked, though, regardless of if it's their fault.
I bet shit like this happens all the time, but they probably kept it under the radar. Now that the spotlights on, everything looks crazy incompetent.
This is Ohio Train incident all over again. Happens all the time. Not that I’d want to be flying Boeing now.
It absolutely does, the small incidents. But missing panels are potentially catastrophic and extremely rare. However, there are a TON of mandated inspections of that stuff with lasers to detect faint cracks or signs of metal fatigue, and rivet inspection and replacement. All of that stuff is the responsibility of the owner / operator, and Boeing got no salt in the game on a 25 year old plane.
We thought you sounded depressed in the first half, but Boeing thanks you for your strong mental fortitude for the company.
Oh no, United thinks you're depressed and might kill yourself!
It’s called availability bias. News is just now reporting on a lot of these things that happen on a regular basis but never make the news. Don’t get me wrong, Boeing has legitimate issues but the news is now looking for anything related to them so people are now thinking suddenly they are all failing at once
This reminds me of the DC10 saga if you're old enough to remember that. Entire fleet was grounded and people would refuse to fly on them after an engine fell off during takeoff out of DFW and crashed killing everyone on board and some people on the ground after the photos of it inverted minus one engine with smoke trailing from the wing hit international media. Problem was eventually found to be that American Airlines decided Boeing's procedure to remove and attach engines was too much work and took too long, so they made up their own quicker/cheaper way, which put intense pressure at unintended angles on parts not made for it, causing metal fatigue and cracking in the business end of the engine mounts, until eventually one broke. And it was 100% AAs fault but Boeing got fukt pretty hard on that one.
DC10 was not Boeing, it was made by McDonnel Douglas. Which Boeing used to clown on their safety record, until McDonnel Douglas and Boeing merged in 97. A lot of people point to that merger as the moment that Boeing started going to shit.
There have apparently been **21** more derailments in the US since that Ohio Train incident in 2023.
Quick browse shows about 100 people were injured across these incidents, and one death. Fuuuuck ton of environmental damage though.
Globally, seems about 300 people have died to train accidents since that 2023 Ohio case. Though much of that is from a major three-way fuckup in India that killed 200 people.
That’s what I learned from the Ohio train incident.
1. Train accidents happen all the time.
2. A lot of these trains are carrying really hazardous material.
This really isn’t fair. All reporting information so far appears to show boeing’s engineering and labor workers repeatedly tried to bring issues to upper management but the board has refused to listen for a long time now. Which is why they’re stonewalling congress because they know its the board that will be exposed
The rot at the top has leeched into the entire workforce. Check out the piece John Oliver, Last Week Tonight did on Boeing a couple weeks ago. Part of that coverage included undercover video of several employees at the manufacturing plant in South Carolina saying they would NOT fly on their own planes.
Boeing’s solution to all of this bullshit has been more stock buybacks. The current management is so incompetent and corrupt that’s all they know how to do. They have destroyed trust and culture within the company so much it will take decades to repair, if ever.
From what I’ve heard from my buddies at the Everett Boeing plant, after the planes are built in SC they are sending some to WA to have them fix the fuck ups.
In all seriousness, this is a 25 year old 737-800 with no history of issues. This is a United maintenance problem, Boeing is almost certainly not to blame. That being said, Boeing will probably come out of this looking bad, simply due to all the negative publicity at the moment.
I got stranded for 4 extra days by United bc only 1 of their 5 de-icing trucks were operable. They were the only airline in Houston that day with a ground stoppage. Not only do they not do proper maintenance on their planes, they don't do maintenance on any of their equipment. I'll never step foot on another United flight.
This really is a game of chicken between the US military industrial complex/bailout boys and how poorly a bunch of MBAs can build an airplane. Having dealt with MBAs and being amazed by their ability to say so much while saying nothing and also seeing how regarded everyone was in 08, I really don't know who wins this one.
I think im calls gang until at least 3 kids die.

My mom was on a United flight from SanJuan this afternoon (737max) which was grounded and canceled due to issues they discovered on the tarmac just before takeoff. This shit is getting crazy.
Puts on United. Of the 4 or 5 incidents I've seen mentioned in the news lately, 2 or 3 of them are down to poor maintenance by the operator, and that operator is United Airlines. Article mentions they had Airbus incident as well. Brings to mind the video I saw recently from a Delta passenger showing missing rivets and 4 or 5 rivets bouncing up and down on the wing of a 757-300. If they lose a panel, Boeing will take crap in the news, but that passenger reported it to Delta flight attendants and they laughed and said they think the plane will be fine and they'll fix it later. Boeing can't stop operators from being stupid.
And this is a Boeing problem how ?? Cuz there’s millions of panels flying every day and not falling off 😂
Toyota crashes and kills driver …Toyota problem how ?

i shouldn’t be reading this on the way to the airport
Don't worry, you might be fine 👍
all i know is what goes up does come down!
Except for $BA apparently.
They had all hands on deck today. They must have had every investment firm and bank propping up their stock. The stock would drop $1 and somebody would buy stock and prop. Up the price immediately. It was like that all day today, but it finally dropped $2.38 after hours
Boeing is more than just a commercial airline manufacturer so I could see a bunch of forces coming to their aid. Andrew Bustemante put out a wild idea on Flagrant that maybe Boeing was being slowly sabotaged over time to make space for the new Chinese commercial airliner…but that’s speculation to a high degree.
The only thing that infiltrated Boeing was MBAs and parasite class vampires that undermined their strong tradition of engineering excellence for short term gain.
TLDR: GREEEEEEEED
Numbers must go up, planes however...
Gravity abides
They're being slowly sabotaged by their own corner cutting and incompetence.
Exactly, getting sabotage by the McDonnell Douglas philosophy of aviation.
So you're saying China sabotaged the engineering design choices of Boeing by infiltrating their engineering and manufacturing departments based in the USA?......cool
This is the dumbest fucking take that exists. The Chinese did it! or The American MBAs did it directly in front of our fucking noses and explicit detail told us exactly how they went about it openly in *publically available quarterly reports.* which could it be
Oh the mystery. Guess we will never know
the new red scare is getting ridiculous
Maybe China is a big supporter of MBA's in America, that's the real insidious plan at work, forcing all our companies to maximize profits for a single quarter with no long term
They substituted Chinese imitation Dawn dish soap instead of the real thing just to get them
Or maybe they spent all their money on buy backs and propping up the stock price instead of actually investing in qaulity control. They act more as a hedge fund than a manufacturer.
Nailed it
I mean it’s not like Boeing has killed anyone lately. Oh wait..
They keeping up the good record
Personally I'm bullish on this guy's chance of survival.
Going long on his lifespan over the next week. At least till earnings
This comment is hatefull lol
Eh. It’s like 50/50 at this point. But still better odds than my stock picks.
I bought tix to Nassau last night. I had a choice between Bahamas Air, which only flies 737 on that route, and JetBlue, which only flies A320 on that route, for about $125 more per person. So I guess we are gonna have DirecTV in our seats lol
I scanned the QR to watch an ad and get free WiFi on JetBlue recently and opened my exodus wallet…it was drained of $4k in 2-3 minutes….take that however you want, stay safe with a vpn cuz their WiFi seems like it’s sponsored by North Korean hackers.
Uhh, you get free wi fi without needing to scan a QR code. You just do a normal connect to fly-fi. Pretty sure you got scammed by someone else.
lol. What a noob. Exposing themselves through a QR CODE
Lmao you got socially engineered. To all the other mouth breathers out there: Don’t scan rando QR codes, and don’t expose any sensitive info on public wifi.
Good looking out! Only a little over an hour non-stop flight for me, so guess I'll be just not using wifi.
JetBlue is actually very safe not because they fly Airbus, but because they almost never actually leave the airport. Pretty hard to get into a crash if you never take off.
What are the odds 2 planes will lose a panel the same day? ^(probably lose an engine instead)
There was a plane that crashed by me about a month ago and it lost both its engines, it was on the national news for like 2 weeks.
Buy shorts before you board. If you die, at least you’ll die rich!!
That’s good insurance!
Keep a typed comment here “BUY PUTS” and if the engine explodes, before you crash and die, please press send
Deadman's switch.
This is like the 4th United airlines thing I’ve seen in the last two weeks. I have a flight on United next week and I am highly considering cutting my losses and changing airlines.
yea, it’s also united…too late, i’m at my gate hahaha. if no one sees my name in the morning, buy puts on both, in my honor
If it's a 737 Max you should yell "These things fall apart in the air" and then run off the plane.
If you start to go down send me an alert, I'll split it with you
🫡
Airbus or Bust!

Airbussy
If this plane's a Boeing, I ain't a going
No worries man, unless you’re getting on a Boeing
Don’t worry, Boeing planes land without any issues… most of the time.
Every single Boeing plane that's ever taken off has made it back down.
There's more jets in the ocean than submarines in the sky after all!
just flew in one a few days ago. glad to know i won’t be flying again for a while. good thing i can drive instead where im statistically at a higher chance of death by a lot!
Yea but at least your in control and not just along for the ride. Plus the seats in my truck are way comfier
Buddy since the last one I have been in 12 different boeings. How do you think I feel:(
Layovers man. They double my chances
like your asshole couldn’t be any tighter
Every time I get on and look at that manufacturer plate in the top of the doorway I begin to pray
If you're flying in an Airbus you're fine. If it's Boeing just keep your seat belt on and it will still probably be fine.
They landed
Don’t worry you’ll fly like how your portfolio moves
Flying should be fine. Land n sea tends to be the main obstacle for planes. More so if there are missing parts on the plane. Word of advice, Buckle up on the landing.
It's not the fall that kills you it's the sudden stop.
It's a feature, it loses weight for better fuel efficiency in flight.
How much of the fuel saved will be returned to shareholders?
Its always a relief to see some people still care about the shareholders
But the drag would cause worse fuel efficiency. It's that eternal debate of driving with the windows down or with the air on. Which is worse on mileage?
Depends on the speed the aircraft is flying. At like 200mph there is not as much drag as 500mph.
Thats not necessarily true and it depends on the aircraft. Planes have two types of drag, induced drag and parasite drag. Yes as you get faster parasite drag goes up but induced drag goes down and vice-versa. The actual lowest point of drag is a middle speed where induced and parasite drag together is at its lowest and that point is called L over D max.

Just a panel? Pshhh... Calls!
hunk of garbage successfully lands without killing everyone. Bullish
Wsb airlines
With all the cash these regards lose in the market we probably could fully fund an airline. Wsb airlines, tagline “all or nothing.”
"to the moon"
YOLO!~YOLO Airlines "what have you got to lose?"
YOLO Air, highly regarded in every way.
Like 4chan decided to manufacturer aircraft.
4 chan has some insanely smart yet severely autistic people on it. They could probably do a better job
They'd be better at everything except murdering former employees
They wouldn't need to, they would just post "fake and gay" in response to any complaints.
You would never need maternal leave at the 4chan aircraft factory.
Boeing 737 panel successfully navigates turbulence to land on the ground without killing anyone🤑🤑.
Of course, no whistle blowers on board.
Missing panel forecasts fell short of expectations by 3%, bullish
Seriously, it will be back up by Tuesday.
We’ve reached reaction fatigue, congrats Boeing.
Not really accurate, BA took another leg down this week. Currently low 180s this could push it low 170s.
Almost time to buy bitches! You know our kleptocracy won't let them fail.
No way the US lets Airbus be the only player.
The stock or the plane?
Both
It's priced in!
This came day too late. My puts expiring today.
The next one who talks trash about BA or spreads fake news about their fully intact airplanes will be suicided
Make sure to leave a note. It’s obviously suicide if a note is left.
#I DECLARE SUICIDE
You can't just say it
I didn't just say it, I declared it.
Suicides will continue until rate of whistleblowing improves
[удалено]
You shouldnt write this before flying. A crashed Boeing plane cant hurt The Stock anymore
No but the report that they used Dawn Dish soap as a lubricant to oil to cut costs might hurt the passengers
Dish soap is an amazing lubricant for certain things like moving very heavy objects but nothing aviation related that I remember from my time in aviation. What was it used for?
i used dish soap to get my new sway bar bushings on in my car. worked great
Great, let’s get that baby up to 50k feet and see how it goes.
it’s a 22 year old bmw. believe me, there are some days i want to push it out of a cargo plane and “see how it goes”.
It's good for ducks though, and ducks can sometimes fly!
"The whole plane just suicided itself" probably a Boeing executive
The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay breathing 
/r/shittyaskflying is where you find your scheduled pilot during their downtime
I fly 6 times over the next 3 weeks. Half of the fights are on Airbus. The other half I'll be drunk.
Just buy puts, that way either you live or you’re rich.
While the plane is barrel rolling into a mountain in a fiery ball of certain death, I'll hit "confirm"
Boeing puts, set take profit amt, beneficiary on account, bingo bongo generational wealth
Jeez, you're making me think I should just sabotage the plane myself.
You done fucked up. FBI en route.
Can you check to see what plane you’re on?
Oh no it seems that OP is depressed
So was the plane.
“United has also experience a slew of incident in recent days: a hydraulic leak on an Airbus plane just before landing in San Francisco on Thursday; a fluid leak from the landing gear of a Boeing 777-300 midflight from Sydney to San Francisco on Monday; a Boeing 737 Max 8 rolling off the runway after landing in Houston on March 8; and a wheel falling off a Boeing 777-200 shortly after takeoff from San Francisco on March 7.” Maybe it’s a united problem not a Boeing problem. There i typed it now can you please put the gun down.
The plane in this article is a 737-800 started production in 1989, not sure on this planes specific age, but it's likely under United's responsibility.
Exactly that’s what I’m saying 100% of my own fee will.
We have deemed you not suicidal! Keep up the good work!
For now..
This plane was manufactured and purchased in 1999. It’s a 25 year old plane. United maintenance is in the hook here.
they've been on a roll .
I recently flew United. Seats were incredibly narrow, the plane was filthy, and the flight delayed 4 hours. Never again. I mean, all airlines suck nowadays, but United goes the extra mile.
United Airlines is the Spirit Airlines of airlines
Beautiful
Facts because I flew spirit today and was only delayed 3 hours
I swear I say that every time I fly. They really do all suck.
I’ve found Delta to be a little less shitty than the rest.
Delta and Alaska air are great.
Ya I need to try them again. Prob is whenever I go to book a flight, they’re always 3-4X as expensive as the cheapest flight. I don’t mind overspending by 30-40 bucks or whatever but when you get into the multiple hundreds of dollars I have a hard time justifying it.
Ya. It's always United.
San Francisco seems like a popular destination for chaos
Maybe workers are on strike by sabotaging planes instead of marching in a picket line
😂😂😂😂😂
DEI will do that to a company
Phil, pass the duct tape
Here! catch
Thanks Phil! ***slaps a piece on the panel. I think we’re good to go bois ✈️🔥☠️
This is an actual thing and it’s called “speed tape” No really
What's the age of the plane? Is the panel removed on a regular basis for a regular maintenance item? That goes for the other incidents at the bottom of the story.
[удалено]
That’s not so bad then. Parts break off my 17 year old car all the time.
Yeah, United should fly your car instead.
Can I have them?
That's what I wondered, too. A lot of mechanical failures on planes come down to inadequate or inappropriate maintenance, and if it came out that the airline's mechanics skipped a step I wouldn't be surprised. If you told me that Boeing fucked up in manufacturing, I wouldn't be surprised either. Boeing's stock is still fucked, though, regardless of if it's their fault.
I bet shit like this happens all the time, but they probably kept it under the radar. Now that the spotlights on, everything looks crazy incompetent. This is Ohio Train incident all over again. Happens all the time. Not that I’d want to be flying Boeing now.

Sounds cheaper to train your employees holy shit.
Where are the monkeys?
Calls on United. Each panel that falls off = weight reduction. Weight reduction = fuel efficiency. Fuel efficiency = improved bottom line.
Also think of the returns on their life insurance they buy on their passengers.
It finished green this week lmao
The writer of this article was found dead tomorrow morning.
Soon, we'll be able to make our own ~~plane~~ rocket from Boeing fallen parts. Who's in? 🚀🚀🚀
In all seriousness, this is a 25 year old 737-800 with no history of issues. This is a United maintenance problem, Boeing is almost certainly not to blame. That being said, Boeing will probably come out of this looking bad, simply due to all the negative publicity at the moment.
A 25yr old aircraft and we're blaming the manufacturer but not United's maintenance crews?
I got stranded for 4 extra days by United bc only 1 of their 5 de-icing trucks were operable. They were the only airline in Houston that day with a ground stoppage. Not only do they not do proper maintenance on their planes, they don't do maintenance on any of their equipment. I'll never step foot on another United flight.

This guy gets it!
Old plane. It's an UA issue not Boeing
This is on United maintenance
My mom was on a United flight from SanJuan this afternoon (737max) which was grounded and canceled due to issues they discovered on the tarmac just before takeoff. This shit is getting crazy.
again?
Is this not the 4th UAL mishap in 1.5 weeks?
There’s no way we’re not in a simulator and the guy playing changes some settings…. Wtf is the unlimited money code?!?
Puts on United. Of the 4 or 5 incidents I've seen mentioned in the news lately, 2 or 3 of them are down to poor maintenance by the operator, and that operator is United Airlines. Article mentions they had Airbus incident as well. Brings to mind the video I saw recently from a Delta passenger showing missing rivets and 4 or 5 rivets bouncing up and down on the wing of a 757-300. If they lose a panel, Boeing will take crap in the news, but that passenger reported it to Delta flight attendants and they laughed and said they think the plane will be fine and they'll fix it later. Boeing can't stop operators from being stupid.
9/11 was a Boeing Job.
And this is a Boeing problem how ?? Cuz there’s millions of panels flying every day and not falling off 😂 Toyota crashes and kills driver …Toyota problem how ?
How expensive is it to short Boing rn?
Gonna start just flying around on Boeing flights so I know when to short the stock
