Re: Plane Spotters Corner

Anyone watched the Netflix documentary "The Case against Boeing"?


An interesting documentary that suggests that when the Boeing and Mcdonnal Douglas merger happened all things went down hill and the once close team and safey conscious group changed to become one poowered by greed and proffit, cutting corners and maximising proffits.


As the A320 Neo arrived, Airbus was finally overtaking Boeing in orders and Boeing didnt have anything to compete with it.
Boeing took the old 737 design and stuck more efficient engines on it...however failed to forsee the challenges this would bring......for example the dreaded pitch problems and the invention on MCAS to counteract this.
It feels like it was rushed and as we all know anything that is rushed is usually not done well.
Not to forget the FAA either who seemed to have taken a back seat when they should have been more on it.
The aircraft could have been grounded a lot sooner in my opinion, especially after the first crash.
