As a frequent flyer and aviation enthusiast I normally always check the type of plane I fly on. There's no way I'd fly on a Boeing 787 - the latest US Senate hearing talks about how their engineers feared the 787 Dreamliner would break apart mid-air - and that workers would PHYSICALLY JUMP on parts of the plane to get them to fit and allign! How the FAA hasn't grounded the fleet I've no idea. This is after the anti-ice issue that could cause the engines to loose thrust if it's used too long - the fix? A sticky note on the panel saying not to have it on over 10 minutes. Boeing whistleblower: Staff 'jumped like Tarzan' on jet parts to fit them |

FFS, my flights to the States in October are with Norse Atlantic. Just checked and they are the proud owners of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

I'll avoid flying whenever I can.
Only long distance, otherwise I'll do a road trip.

I’ve started driving around Europe for the last couple of years mate, made an adventure / road trip of longer stays with stop-overs here and there - absolutely brilliant. Had a long weekend away a few months ago - 6.30am tunnel crossing, was eating breakfast in Antwerp at 9.30. Fantastic. Kids love it, we love it. ‘Tis the future. I’ve never been bothered about flying, but next time I do I’ll shit meself. |

If its nature I really want to see then I will do, but for other shit, no chance Been to Africa and USA so nothing makes me wants to travel. Other than Australia but I see that that even that's turning to shit with the coral reef going white, etc. Fuck it. In 10 years Europe will be like that anyway. The Belgian coast will be the new Spain once the world heats up 👌 |

Apparently it's a lot to do with llgetting the government out of the way and letting companies decide what's safe about their products.
Clearly a brilliant idea!
