Boeing trying to sell dilapidated aircraft as new

[mrswdk]

Is anyone even surprised by Aeroflot 2.0's negligence any more? Now Boeing is trying to ship 'new' plans with fuel tanks full of debris.

Boeing's crisis-hit 737 Max jetliner faces a new potential safety issue as debris has been found in the fuel tanks of several new planes which were in storage, awaiting delivery to airlines.

A Boeing spokesman said the company did not see the issue further delaying the jet's return to service.

The aircraft has been grounded by regulators around the world since March 2019.

It was banned from flying after two separate crashes killed 346 people.

I should probably be fair to Aeroflot here. While they did used to have a reputation for being 'a bit of a Boeing', they are actually now a perfectly safe and comfortable airline to travel with. Nothing like Boeing at all.

Because they stopped making aircraft?

Boeing is an airline?

No arguments, case closed.

That's pretty nomad.

Mr South West DK, "Hey guise, let's drink bleach and clean out our guts."

Uh, your guts might be clean but won't you hurt yourself and possibly die?

Mr South West DK, "See? It'll clean your guts. I win."

I think you know what I meant. Aeroflot used to have a horrible safety reputation but is now considered a-okay; Boeing used to be considered good but is now only good for manufacturing clown cars (and it'd probably still manage to screw those up).

Hiding behind semantics is for Americans who know their flagship manufacturer is stinky poops but just can't admit it.

Well, us "Americans" are just happy we aren't trapped on the island there Gilligan. Maybe one day you can escape again...
