To be able to even walk that intoxicated is the hallmark of a serial 'closet' drinker and can somehow seem to function almost normally. Until they don't.

Your comments have nothing to do with the story. If you knew your history you'd also know our NG is a distinguished component of our country's defense whose pilots are skilled and motivated professionals.

I agree that before you make conclusions you need to walk in a person's shoes and understand that experience. I also agree everyone has an opinion whether I like it or not.

From reading between the lines my takeaway is management made poor initial choices; disabled some of those services; didn't fully inform their flight attendants who had to deal with complaints; is now working "diligently" as a "team" on the issue.

Agree. Wouldn't you think that by now software engineering would have a deep knowledge base of known issues, interactions and outcomes.

It's as if the pizza maker wants to make only cheese pizzas, nothing else. I wonder if there was government influence at work.

What bothers me most is that Boeing agreed to a tough contract. Things were fine until the going got tough. When money started flowing from their own pocket to correct the many mistakes -instead of our government covering their f-ups- then it's like they forgot how to build airplanes. Hate to be down on such a historically important American company but the last 10-15 years has seen major management missteps with labor, technology, production methods.

The feedback issue might be software fixable. The other concerns the handling of the boom, which, for a boom operator could make flying the boom difficult. It sounds to me like these deficiencies were noted by experienced operators, not factory techs. I agree that it seems that once Boeing got the contract their focus and enthusiasm turned to other things, such as ramping-up production of their commercial lines.

Management: Pay Attention! This is how you treat your clients.
