Don't Want To Work At Southwest Or Alaska If The Following Is True

[DieselDragRacer]

Come on, really, a 737 breaking up after an over run...wow. Which over runs are you referring to? I would be shocked if the NTSB came back and confirmed your theory. Since a 737 takes off and lands every minute why would those three over runs constitute a conspiracy?

A plane that breaks up after a hard landing or severe turbulence would be one thing, but after running off of the paved surface is another. Applying newtonian physics to the energy involved in such an accident, one would find that even an aircraft fashioned from recycled battleship steel and german tiger tanks probably wouldn't survive departing the paved surface with sufficient speed. Not trying to be too harsh....sorry.

Although, it is a good point to bring up, you don't want your overseers getting too cozy with your manufacturers.

The conspiracy they were getting at was all 3 planes that broke into 3 pieces last year were 8 years old NG's and these planes were are built around the time Boeing had known problems with this supplier.

All 3 planes broke in critical areas where said supplier made parts by hand that were certified only to be made by CNC. When the parts arrived at Boeing notes of irregularities were initially made (until mgnt told the workers not to). Instead of rejecting critical structural fuselage parts missing corrosion coating, parts with mis-drilled holes and parts that were out of shape, Boeing employees drilled additional holes in the fuselage section, used aersol paint to mimic corrosion coating and beat the fuselage sections into place when they didn't fit.

The whole collapse is the govs fault not wall street! The gov made banks give loans to people who couldnt afford it. All under the guise of " affordable" housing.

I'm not saying it wasn't. My point was .Gov wasn't watching Wall St or the investment banks like they probably should have. In this video it's said that the FAA doesn't keep an on eye Boeing because it trusts Boeing to police itself.

Well, in the first 5 minutes, I've already "learned" that the NG was a "radical new design" that was able to fly higher and faster because of precision tooling . . . :erm:

Silly me, I thought max altitude was a function of wing design, thrust and pressurization, when it was precision tooling, all along.

:laugh:

Interesting, however, my question is if the pilots make a mistake and the aircraft departs the pavement at a high speed over rough terrain, will the aircraft break apart anyway. Airplanes are designed and built to fly, not crash. Let's just say that after 7000 flight hours in the 737ng and no problems after all the turbulence, rough landings (yes...some were mine) etc, etc. I have no worries about the aircraft. I will buy you a steak dinner if anything comes from the NTSB that determines this issue alone caused the break ups of aircraft involved in crashes. You can hold me to it.

Well.... the Gov, under the hands of Barney Frank and Chris Dowd, wrote the rules for the investment banks and Wallstreet, not to mention Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The House and Senate banking committees were warned on numerous public occasions that the Affordable Housing Act would eventually sink our housing and banking markets. They chose to ignore this information.

The person directly responsible for watching Wallstreet, at the time of the banking collapse, was none other than the Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve. His name was Timothy Gietner. Guess what his position is today...

produced by aljazerra tv. enough said.

Al Jazeera. "Enough said?" What, exactly, is enough said? Al Jazeera is a news network based in Doha, Qatar, and features both Arab and western news cast/hosts. Or are you just like the many thousands of ignorant Americans who hears an Arabic-phrase and instantly thinks "terrorists!" Take your paranoia elsewhere, al Jazeera is a news network and this 737 documentary is actually pretty good.

Finally, someone with some intelligence on here. Barney Frank and his goonies pushed through the concept of "Every american should be able to own a house." Jesus H-not everyone should be able to.

Moral of the story: Don't crash your 737NG and you'll be just fine.

I was talking to a new maint controller at my airline who used to work for Boeing at Renton, he said that every 73NG fuselage that arrives comes littered with bulletholes as rednecks from around the country take potshots at the aircraft while they are on the train from the fuselage build location to Seattle...

He said the first thing that they do upon arrival is go on bullet hole detail to patch up all the holes....he NEVER saw a fuselage without some redneck bullet holes....

And this thread is a great example of why the mods should make some changes.

 

[goodgig]

Why? What should the mods do?
Hammer to fit and paint to match. Nothing new there.

Yeah it was the gov's fault, sarcasm. next it will be the gun producers fault for gun deaths in america. and car and alcohol producers for drunk driving accidents.
How about lack of ethics by corporate leaders, bankers, to make a quick dollar without considering long term issues.
just because something things can be done doesn't mean they should be done. I'm all for the government letting us make our own decisions like adults should be able to do. my problem is with the lack of morality and ethics on the top of the food chain.

Let's chalk it up to personal responsibility instead of blaming the boogeyman, bankers, rich people, etc. Bottom line is that you had to be a complete idiot to be taking $400K loan for a 2,000 SF house with no money down while making $50K/year especially when the house was "worth" $200K 2 years ago. Can't prove your income? No problem, just sign here and promise me you're making that and we got a deal. Here's your money. Now don't forget to get your credit card limits increased so you can outfit the house with everything pottery barn. After all, you only need to pay the minimum every month. When the house doubles in value in 3 years, you'll be rich.
It's all about "Free will." If it appears to be too good to be true, it probably is. Personal responsibility is apparently a foreign concept for many in this world.

I can agree with that
