  1.  @nickolliver3021  Fixed? You mean Boeing has said they are but who is going to believe Boeing?

  2.  @TLO129  No other aircraft is designed to fly the aircraft into the ground, Boeing should know you never have a system which relies on just one sensor and having put the aircraft into a dangerous condition and the pilot pulling out of the dive a few seconds later it tried to do the same again. No wonder Boeing have shut down 737 Max production, they can't sell then anymore. What has happened to the 787? Isn't that just another example of Boeing cost cutting and putting passengers lives at risk.

  3.  @stefaancodde6578  Of course we have a choice just look at the aircraft for the flight before you buy a ticket, along with the route and timetable they list the aircraft type.

  4.  @nickolliver3021  Airbus does not rely on Boeing so the failures of Boeing do not bring Airbus down. The A 350 is very good unlike the 787, just as the A 320 is far better than the 737. You are welcome to travel any way you want to but for me overseas travel is most likely to be by an Airbus aircraft, certainly not in a Boeing.

  5.  @nickolliver3021  They put effort into telling everyone they had fixed them but Boeing have so many failings and FAA have let them get away with murder. It is just luck that no 787's have crashed but luck has a habit of running out, The 737 Max shows how trying to save money costs lives, the many faults on the 787 show the same.

  6.  @nickolliver3021  Boeing tried to cut corners and have put profit above safety. I do not remember A320 fuel pump issues,maybe because Airbus fix any issues rather than trying to hide them. I will continue to fly Airbus and not Boeing or Cesna.Boeing aircraft are to be avoided by anyone who knows a bit about aircraft. Even tthe FAA have finally seen how bad Boeing is.

  7. In 2015, an auditor with the Federal Aviation Administration discovered a Boeing subcontractor was falsifying certifications on cargo doors for hundreds of 777s and had been doing so for years, according to interviews and government documents. Boeing mechanics were leaving tools inside plane wings, precariously close to the cables that control their movements. Workers also were improperly installing wires in 787s, which could increase the risk of shorts or fires, FAA officials found. Repeatedly, safety lapses were identified, and Boeing would agree to fix them, then fail to do so, the FAA said. The agency launched or was considering more than a dozen legal enforcement cases against the company for failing to comply with safety regulations, a review of FAA records shows, with fines that could have totaled tens of millions of dollars. So FAA officials tried a new approach. Rather than pursue each violation separately, agency officials bundled them together and negotiated a broader deal. In 2015, the FAA decided to try to get Boeing to meet, then go beyond, federal safety requirements by addressing broader corporate culture and governance issues, including what agency officials considered a lack of transparency. The week before Christmas of that year, Boeing and the FAA signed a five-year settlement agreement that was unprecedented in scope. The company paid a modest $12 million penalty, but it agreed to make significant changes in its internal safety systems and practices for “ensuring compliance” with regulations. In the days after the agreement was signed, top U.S. officials cast it as a powerful reminder that every company, no matter its size, must comply with minimum safety standards. But Boeing’s profits after signing the deal topped $20 billion by the end of September 2018, making the company’s $12 million penalty easy to gloss over despite occasional press reports of the firm’s shortcomings. The company committed to improving the quality and timeliness of information it provides to the FAA. But in the case of the 737 Max, the FAA said, it took Boeing more than a year to notify it about a software problem that disabled a crucial warning light connected to the automated system at the center of the tragedies.
