If that's what you took from that segmwnt, you should watch it again.

Really? I hadn’t watched it, so just invested the 30 minutes into doing that, and that’s EXACTLY what I got out of it. And that incest, sexual harassment, lying, and contract hanky panky is a big thing in Boeing executive culture.

Marrying your first cousin is not incest. It is weird, and great to make fum of.

Yes, Boeing has a serious culture problem. One regarding engineering, MCAS should never left the meeting room it was discussed in. And one regarding quality, that whole B737 Max door plug cluster fuck is plain unacceptable.

That their planes are shit so isn't true. Because ultimately, the B787 turned out to be a great plane, it should never heve been ruahed through development the way it was. Same for the 737 MAX with regards to MCAS.

The key point, somewhat hidden in the LWTN segment is that the way Boeing is doing things is deeply flawed. Not that the ultimate product is bad.

I say this, because with the quality culture Boeing seems to have, you will ruin even best design plane. And their quality culture, looking in from the outside and without a final FAA report, is ditramental opposed to everything I learned and saw in aerospace.

In general so, the John Oliver segment is good summary of Boeing goeing back to the B787.

If the plane can be taken out of the sky by a stray balloon, its a shit plane. The segment was about quality issues with Boeing. Similar to BMW. Yeah great engineering but crappy quality so IMO they are shit cars.

If you say so. > The number of deaths per passenger-mile on commercial airlines in the United States between 2000 and 2010 was about 0.2 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles. For driving, the rate was 150 per 10 billion vehicle-miles: 750 times higher per mile than for flying in a commercial airplane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_safety_in_the_U... I'll take 1:750 odds.

Per mile is a bad metric, why don’t you calculate per trip?

Not until you tell us why it is a bad metric.
