Date: January 13th, 2025 12:50 PM Author: supple stead When I was a kid we used to have a major crash every couple of years, sometimes multiple ones. Popular Mechanics even ran this issue in 1995:

Now it’s just dumb stuff like some bolts fell off a door but the plane landed safely. |

Date: January 13th, 2025 2:20 PM Author: vivacious idiot I have yet to read a convincing explanation beyond some variant of "they made improvements and learned from past mistakes." It's probably just luck. Sooner or later there will be a crash caused by faulty design, outsourced maintenance to Latin America, DEI hiring for pilots/ATCs, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5663353&forum_id=2Elisa#48549131) |
|
Date: January 13th, 2025 3:14 PM Author: supple stead For a while the explanation I always heard and believed was that there were so many boomer pilots with decades of experience working for US carriers that pilot errors had become increasingly uncommon and successful troubleshooting of in-flight issues by those boomers was common. But those boomers have been retiring for over a decade now and we still have safe air travel so I no longer think that’s the reason.
