Nordic Airlines, they probably bought the cheap ones Only to New York I need to grow up really They operate mainly the 787-9 which have a different issue. The fuselage is known to be weak and will rip open in mid air after a number of flights, essentially splitting the plane in half. I wouldn't worry, my previous post still covers that one. You won't know. š¤£ What is the number of flights? Surely only prediction cause itās not happened yet? Edit: made me laugh but you are a fcuker

I have just tried to charter a Boeing 737 (62 passengers) for Berlin on Sunday if England were to get to the final.
Works out at Ā£1500 per person.
Its a big no from me

Edit: made me laugh but you are a fcuker It just said thousands in the articles I've read, but the whistleblower is saying some pretty damning things including being threatened with violence for leaking the information. The whistleblower is essentially an inspector who found small gaps in panels that weren't joined together properly, caused by manufacturing that were under huge pressure to get planes manufactured quickly to meet deadlines. And I'm not helping am I?

And I'm not helping am I? Probably not. Also, you forgot to add that 2 boeing whistleblowers died this year. It wasn't just small gaps, holes were drilled the wrong size or were missing/rivets, and it was claimed that in production they physically jumped on parts of the plane to make them fit due to defects (boeing denied this one), and that they've used scrapyard parts for years. Former boeing staff have said they wouldn't fly on their planes - one was taking a flight where he's purposely avoided the MAX and they changed the aircraft, when he saw it was a MAX while checking the safety card he got up and refused to fly on it.

Do Ryanair use the Max? And just not announce it. I flew to Menorca with them recently and swear I was on one. Looked brand spankers and take-off and landing were like being in a tumble drier

Looked brand spankers and take-off and landing were like being in a tumble drier I posted this on the first page: - Ryanair website: - Welcome Aboard! As Europeās cleanest and greenest airline group weāre investing $22bn in 210 new Boeing 737-8200 āGamechangerā aircraft: 4% more guests, 16% less fuel burn and 40% less noise emissions. In March 2023 we received our 100th āGamechangerā aircraft. By 2034 we will receive a further 300 new Boeing 737- MAX 10 aircraft which not only carry 21% more guests, but burn 20% less fuel and are 50% quieter than our Boeing 737-NG Fleet.

Gamechanger- Interesting name. Changing the game by getting to your destination intact... hopefully.

As I said earlier in the thread we used to get engine run turbine blades back after an engine had done so many cycles for inspection and it was very rare that one had fractured. Could be all sorts of things cause it bit Iād imagine lack of maintenance maybe one issue depending on who has the servicing contract

Not great. Joking aside, it's still the safest form of travel and the boeing fleet is probably getting extra maintanence and atention at the minute (you'd hope anyway). Any further incidents that prove fatal while they are under investigation could end the company. Do you have Xanax or anything else in the medicine cabinet that'll help with the flight?

Iāve flown from Gatwick to Denver before and found it really pleasant. The way back from JFK was pretty sketchy. I like my films so enjoy that about long haul but I am considering some Xanax, yeah. Weirdly I just donāt like flying over ocean really. The worst flights Iāve ever been on were going East. The worst I flew to Bangladesh via Kuwait immediately after the Qatar WC. The Kuwait to Dhaka leg was full of Bangladeshi men who were going back and forth to the Middle East for slave labour. It made a flight from Glasgow to Alicante look like a school trip. They just didnāt understand the Western etiquette of flying, as most probably had never been on a flight before. Pissing with the toilet doors open, video calls as we are taking off, and worst of all me sat next to one of the doors, leaning on the big handles as they waited for a piss Was not good for a nervous flier I tell you

Aeroplanes remain by far the safest mode of transport. I wonāt be cancelling any flights any time soon

I had the 380 to Hong Kong and back. Used Cathay Pacific. Really comfortable with more leg room than others and had no probs. 11 hours there and 14 hours back. They have Boeings on the same route but I prefer the Airbus.

A running friend of mine who is an Easyjet pilot was telling me last night when we were out for a run that he recently had an engine burn out just after leaving Manchester, he made an emergency return to Manchester, landed OK, all the crew were sent home with 'stress' and to recover, he had to stay and take another flight as they were short of pilots.
Easyjet use Airbus.

Malaysian Airlines have had 2 engine failures in the last 2 days on different flights,both Pratt & Whitney engines I gather. Following Airlive is not always a good thingš³
