Stranded in Davos, Switzerland. What a hellish nightmare. I'm praying for Secretary Blinken's safe and timely return. Give 'em hell, Tony!

More good news for Boeing.

[-] naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

Boeing really seems like they have their shit together.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Unfortunately they put their shit together in the shape of an airframe.

Something tells me Boeing isn't getting that exception they asked for.

Stranded, but with a personal jet coming to pick him up. How terrible, hope he finds a way to get back.

Can't have Blinken stranded in the land of the Swiss shudder

Don't you know Switzerland is basically a Chinese pawn now?

Planes require lots of maintenance not sure why everyone is saying Boeing is the cause of this one. How old is the modified aircraft? If it’s a few months off the assembly line and it’s having maintenance issue that is grounding the aircraft then yea give Boeing some shit but airlines/operators have to take planes out of service all the time for maintenance, shoot even the military does it.

I worked in Aerospace for a few years and the company I worked for did a lot of work for Boeing, mostly on the Apache program, Boeing definitely has its issues but maintenance issues are not a Boeing only issue.
