That’s not Boeing’s fault. This could be a number of things; I’d be looking closely at pilot error or having incorrect takeoff data

Stop trying to blame Boeing for everything. Makes you look silly

They’re just communists. The cause doesn’t matter. When you realize that, it all makes more sense.

Airline unions are generally smart, well organized & funded. They do quite a lot for members

If you cross one & become a “Scab”, your life will be hell. They keep a list w/pictures & nobody will hang out w/ you. No friends at work & union won’t back you…forever. It’s wild

Impressive takeoff and climb by a U-2

Every indication I have says it will be a record airline summer, too

This was a failure to extend NOT a collapse of the NLG.

The uninformed (baitclickers) are still reporting this as a “collapse. Crew has been briefed & as of now is indicating a NLG extension failure. #falsenews #thetruthhurts #boeing #767 #aviation

Many of Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions will expire in 2025.

Here is how it would impact your taxes:

This Extinction Rebellion protestor has glued himself to a flight to Dubai. Bob from security just added more glue and we’ve cleared the plane for take off. I imagine he’ll get a cracking view of all the oil fields on approach.

Those who got it entirely wrong and advocated for oppressive measures need to acknowledge their error. Pretending like it wasn't them isn't acceptable.
