Thanks all, I’ll get checking !
If it’s Jim Boeing I ain’t going
a month later
Flew back from Qatar on a 787 last month. It had big patches of peeling paint on the wing. Some of them went back to bare metal.
Hursty changed the title to Boeing 737 Max .

Dubman The 787 is a heavy twin engine twin aisle long range widebody aircraft. This is the Boeing 737 Max thread which as you’ll know is a twin‑engine single aisle short to medium range narrow-body aircraft.
Please start a new thread using the correct aircraft model designation and engine manufacturer (i.e Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce etc) next time.
Hursty changed the title to Boeing - putting profits before lives since 1997 .
I’m shocked a corporation would put profit before lives. Absolutely shocked

“The pilot of a terrifying flight from Australia to New Zealand told those on board he temporarily lost control of his Boeing 787 after one of its instruments failed, a passenger said Monday, as authorities investigate what caused a sudden drop that threw travelers around the cabin, injuring dozens”
"Passenger Brian Jokat described the horrifying moment when he was woken from his sleep as the aircraft “dropped something to the effect of 500 feet instantly.”
“After landing in Auckland, Jokat said the pilot checked on the passengers and explained he had temporarily lost control of the jet.”
“I immediately engaged with him and said, ‘What was that?’ And he openly admitted, he said, ‘I lost control of the plane. My gauges just kind of went blank on me,’” Jokat said.
“He said for that brief moment he couldn’t control anything and that’s when the plane did what it did. Then he said the gauges came back and it reengaged, the plane just reengaged to its normal flight pattern. And we had no issues before, no issues after. But just that moment.”
I originally thought this story was a classic CAT incident, but it sounds like the plane created its own issues
A plane has a mishap and corrects itself, don’t see the big deal personally.
