    I woulda cancelled Boeing orders after the killed the whistle blower and the door fell off mid flight. But what do I know I’m not an airline CEO

      Airbus doesn’t have that “duct tape and bubble gum” feel like a Boeing or Chinese plane does.

    So, money is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Not Boeing being unsafe and you being concerned for your crew and customers.

      It’s in obvious that you have never flown Ryanair. They make it very clear at every point of the journey that they have zero regard for their customers and crew. It’s an antagonistic relationship from beginning to end.

      This is coming from the CEO who pitched “vertical seating” after all.

    I’d never buy a Boeing plane again after they said “some of our planes will crash and kill everyone on board, but that’s cheaper than making them safer”.
