#2At least Airbus seems to be competent in building safe aircraft.
I would not be surprised though if Boeing's sales drop if the US government brings in tariffs or etc to try and force companies to buy their flying coffins.

#3>The FAA said the inspections will take between four and eight hours per plane.
Seems reasonable. I was wondering if a single event should really be enough to "ground" all similar planes, but seems like they just want to do a quick inspection.

#5I’d at first read the plane was without passengers and just being flown somewhere… and I thought, great.
Today I read that it was full of passengers, and the two people supposed to be in the two seats in the row the panel blew out happened to miss their flight.
If that’s true… what an interesting set of statistics coming together.
Amount of people that sleep through flights Amount of panels that blow out of passenger planes Chance to be seated next to said panel

#7The plane that had the issue was new, so I guess they want to make sure it wasn't an issue with other planes off the line maybe?
Sure is a good thing nobody was sitting in that seat.

It's a shame you can't short their shares during the weekend...
