MAX must stand for "MAX Profits" because they sure cut lots of corners on that aircraft.

More like unexpected new features, like the all new spontaneous exit row!

Just think how much easier it will be to get extra leg room now.

I wonder how many cents they saved by not ensuring the bolts were properly tightened.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Probably more than you think. This strikes me as an understaffing issue in the factory. Loose bolts happen when the person who is supposed to verify the work has been done correctly, is busy doing work elsewhere on the plane. Understaffing causes people to pitch-in to make deadlines, or to ease the burden on their co-workers. Seems trivial at first, but with airplanes, this behavior gets people killed.
