777's aren't even that old or inefficient. I can understand MD80's, but unless their 777 fleet consists of all the original models from 1994, it seems premature.
They definitely are capable of flying that fast, but I can't imagine them flying much faster than Mach 0.84 or 0.85. The Bean counters wouldn't like that lol.
Exactly any article that criticizes Boeing on here immediately gets flagged as a "Boeing hater". Boeing's management did this to themselves and unfortunately now the employees are feeling the impact.
Exactly. After the issues with the early model DC-10's were fixed, it was a safe aircraft. The MD11 had its own issues when it was released, but no major design flaws other than the center of gravity problems which were fixed years after most airlines had gave up on the aircraft. Most of the issues pertaining to the MD11 incidents were related to pilot error and/or poor training.
