Are we there yet?

2024 is apparently the year of multiple MAX BBJ visits to Aotearoa.

Parked up at Menzies Aviation's apron at Hamilton Airport is N3E, which is currently leased to SE Logistics from Wilmington Trust.

This is my second MAX BBJ, and one of 4 that have visited Tāmaki, Tāhuna (Queenstown), and Kirikiroa.

a lot of yall are surprised about everything happening with Boeing but like….

do we not remember when they rolled out the 737 MAX 8s ? Boeing claimed no particularly new features were added to the plane (because they would have to retrain all of their pilots), but guess what ? That was false, and multiple planes went down because there were incidents involving the MCAS mid-flight that pilots weren’t trained on, so they couldn’t turn it off or even begin to be able to find where the issue was, they were looking for something they didn’t even know existed.

Boeing knew there would be accidents, but they also knew that paying out settlements from said accidents would take less money and time than retraining all of their pilots properly. Which womp womp, they had to do anyway, but not before flights Lion Air 610 and Ethiopian Airlines 302 went down (crashes that Boeing tried to blame on the pilots)

Before the merger, Boeing was definitely a “safety & engineering first” type of company. I’ve always loved the aviation industry, i’ve always been fascinated by planes but even more importantly, i live in the city in the USA where the most recent large loss of life crash happened (Buffalo NY, Colgan Air 3407). That event shook our entire community, my friend’s dad was unfortunately on that flight and lost his life with 49 others, along with one person on the ground.

the investigation was immediate, serious and thorough, and subsequent changes to the aviation industry were swiftly made and well thought-out and employed. i admired how well it was taken care of, and i’ve always seen (mid80s-2000s) aviation and its governing bodies (shoutout NTSB) as one of the most transparent industries that prided itself on being so.

Ironic that by killing their whistleblower Boeing put all eyes on them, i bet if they did nothing that the lawsuit wouldn’t have even made headlines.

RIP John Barnett, the brave Boeing whistleblower, and RIP all of those who lost their lives in aviation accidents

In 2019, Mr Barnett told the BBC that under-pressure workers had been deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the production line.

He also said he had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems, which could mean one in four breathing masks would not work in an emergency.

UM???

Spirit only operates Airbuses so I'm starting a fundraiser to gift them a 737 MAX that instantly explodes from it's own vile aura the minute you step inside.

NTSB to hold hearing on Boeing 737 MAX 9 mid-air emergency

The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will question key witnesses from Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, and the Federal Aviation Administration over the mid-air cabin panel explosion of an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 door plug.

The board also plans to release documents, including factual reports and evidence of the ongoing investigation, at the start of the two-day investigative hearing. The January incident severely damaged Boeing’s reputation and led to a two-week suspension of MAX 9 production, a ban by the FAA on expanding production, a criminal investigation, and the firing of several key executives.

Boeing senior vice president of quality Elizabeth Lund and vice president of supplier quality Doug Ackerman are among those who will testify at the hearing. It would last 20 hours over two days, the NTSB reported.

Terry George, senior vice president and general manager for Boeing Programme at Spirit AeroSystems, and Scott Grabon, a senior director for 737 quality at Spirit, which makes the fuselage for the MAX, will also attend the hearing.

The hearing will address issues such as 737 production and inspections, safety and quality management systems, FAA oversight, and the opening and closing of the door plug.

A Spirit spokesperson stated that the company was “fully committed to cooperating with the NTSB in its investigation into this incident.” In June, FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker claimed the agency was “too hands off” in its oversight of Boeing until January. In June, the NTSB said Boeing violated investigative rules when Lund provided non-public information to media and speculated about possible causes of the incident.

Last month, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to fraud conspiracy and pay a fine of at least $243.6 million to settle a Justice Department investigation into two fatal 737 MAX crashes.

The Boeing 737 Max and Its Toilets

July 9, 2024 The travel agent booked us a flight from Ottawa to Vancouver. It was a non-stop flight. That is what I like. However, I discovered the plane was a Boeing 737 Max when I received the itinerary. The infamous one. You remember? That model crashed twice, once in 2018 (Lion Air Indonesian Airline) and once in 2019 (Ethiopian Airlines), where 346 people died. After the crashes, all flying…

Imagine cruising at 34,000 feet when your plane suddenly starts rocking and swaying like it's trying to do the jitterbug. That's basically what happened to a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max last month.

This bizarre aerial ballet is called a "Dutch roll," and it's not something you want to experience on your next vacation. Thankfully, the plane landed safely, but the incident has raised some serious questions about the aircraft's stability and overall safety.What exactly is a Dutch roll? Why did it happen? And should we be worried about flying on the 737 Max? I've got the answers in this in-depth article.

Here we go again...

Doubtful the airlines are going to want to pay out of pocket for this expensive grounding.
