I don't want my family flying on Boeing planes. I wonder if the public realizes how many Boeing planes are flying.  Thanks for finding that article which said, “Given the previous tragic crashes of Boeing 737 Max aircraft, we are deeply concerned that the loose bolts represent a systemic issue with Boeing’s capabilities to manufacture safe airplanes,” Sens. Ed Markey, J.D. Vance and Peter Welch wrote to Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun earlier this month.

SNL made the joke about Alaska airlines. But the fault is Boeing and their sloppy cheap manufacturing.

The nose wheel fell off a Boeing craft Tuesday before takeoff. Are we surprised? 

As suspected, the FAA says they will tighten scrutiny and oversight even more, has halted the expansion of their Max line, but has set inspection requirements to get current planes back in use. 

As noted, Boeing has a corporate culture that is all about the bottom line, the stockholder's and upper management's profits. As the public gets fed up with it, it could signal some major issues for the company.

Boeing is an absolute disaster. They were the gold standard and maybe the tin standard.
