They gotta sell papers. Apparently, @ the NY Post, the bar is set low in terms of what is considered "news". Typical tabloid amateur hour. Understanding who reads these rags is of more interest than what they print. My 2 cents.
Having a bad day? Jeez, , , tell us how you REALLY feel. To be true to your own words, I trust you choose to not fly and be another piece of tons and tons of metal falling daily from the American sky. Sheesh.
What is the cost of a life? Easy when the discussion happens in a vacuum BUT if a death was a member of the family, may I humbly suggest that the accounting excuse would go out the window.
Well the Max debacle is concrete proof that Boeing cannot scrutinize itself. The FAA and Boeing simply developed a too-cozy relationship (and gov't is to blame for allowing that) over the years and as a result, , , , many people died.
That said, we cannot blame them for having revenue in ever-increasing focus. They should, however, be honest and transparent with those that subscribe and if their business model now requires "click-bait" based revenue just let us know and we can choose to unsubscribe or pay.
Common FlightAware , , , has this click-bait become a key part of your business model? If so, own up and let us know and we can choose to opt-in or opt-out. 2 (at least) already today.
Personally I think that a clear and powerful "cause and effect" environment will take care of ~90% of the problem. Do something stupid? No second chance and flag the individual as an offender no longer allowed to board a plane. Similar to what was in place post 9-11. On the bad-person list, you have major issues. Jail time and fines must be included in the effect. Set a few examples and just watch the numbers plummet. The nair do wells are like kids without supervision. There is a need for adults in the room.
