Boeing delayed fix of defective 737 MAX warning light for three years
Boeing Co learned that a cockpit warning light on its 737 MAX jetliner was defective in 2017 but decided to defer fixing it until 2020, U.S. lawmakers said on Friday. (uk.reuters.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
When the lawmakers (now involved) get enough lobby dollars, from the manufacture, the issues will fly away. How did the plane pass federal muster? A lot of grease no doubt.
A lot of very intelligient, smart people consciuously made a decision based on short term profits versus a long term stable and safe airframe with redundant systems. They wagered, and lost and now we all lose also. Hopefullyleaders will once again lead and reverse this trend.
It’s going to be a hell of a long time before I can trust anything Boeing is manufacturing now.
Between the constant internal FOD situations, and wing spar defects just released to the public, I’ve lost my faith in their current manufacturing practices.
This whole thing smells like the Takata air bag coverup, and that ain’t good for Boeing’s reputation or stock value.

An old saying that requires repeating.
"Human Error is never the cause"
It may well be lack of training, financial pressure, customer pressure, and the list goes on but if the holes in cheese had not been able to line up then there would have been no human error to commit.

Yup. People generally do what makes sense at the time unless they are purposely violating. The key in investigation is to determine why. And the answer is not based on outcome bias as the cause or hindsight bias to assign blame, but making the job easy to do right and hard to do wrong.
I have to agree with "cowboy bob" This guy has been around the block more than just a time or two. comments here are full of statements from the "Hanging around the end of the runways bunch". I worked in the aviation world for almost fifty years, most as a airline A&P mechanic, I would like to add that the airlines and the FAA are bed buddies. It is no coincidence that almost 100 or so Max 8/9"s, flown by American, Southwest And United have not had problems like these two overseas outfits have. I do not know about overseas pilot training and expertise. But I have seen some of the heavy maintenance, these so called off shore maintenance outfits that is preforming maintenance to this day, overseas. It's a dam shame. "This Ole Fart X Mechanic"
