This is a BA buy signal for Monday. It may well be, as long as they don't wind up in Chapter 11 at some point over a total loss of credibility.

The videos coming out are ridiculous. How the hell does that happen? They are extremely lucky no one got killed.

Probably some component fatigue. Pretty damn safe given the miles traveled. I'm amazed no one was so terrified that they paused to video things.

Will never forget back in 2000, a couple weeks before me and the wife went to Alaska, an Alaskan Airlines plane went down right off the coast near the Channel Islands. Don't remember what kind of plane it was, believe it was later found to be no grease on the elevator nut... killed everyone on board.
Phil I remember that. Wasn't that a Super 80 or similar?

Elevator trim jackscrew jammed in the full nose down position- - - - -pilots couldn't level the plane out. Must have been a pretty terrifying ride for a short time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Airlines_Flight_261

Be great if engineers designed jets instead of accountants. Boeing used to make great jets.

You guy's ever see the movie "Flight" with Denzel Washington? It is supposed to be partially based on the flight 261 accident where they say the pilot was supposed to be trying to get the plane leveled off by rolling it inverted but didn't have the altitude. And another, I believe flight 232 around 1989 somewhere around Chicago where a plane was supposed to have lost both engines on one side. That accident half the passengers survived.

The door has since been located in a residential backyard in Oregon. Numerous items were 'sucked' outta this plane through the opening left when the 'plug' for the deactivated exit door failed. It's brought into question policy's regarding passengers being allowed to hold infants in their laps during flights vs being secured in a car seat.. There were 3 infants on this flight, none were reported to have been sucked out into the skies of Oregon.

JFC this is starting to look like a real clusterfÅck... Bolts and hardware being found loose. Bolts too long or bad nutplates? Then the aircraft that had the incident was restricted from flying over water due to a pressurization warning light flashing. Well HELLO, you've got a damn pressure leak. Maybe ya want to figure out why... 🙄
Couldn't be that the hatch plug might be loose.

Here’s a good one on AA:
My wife flew AA out of Dulles on her first leg to China a year ago. The flight was delayed, and so help me Hanna, they approached the passengers and said they were short-staffed and they would get off the ground quicker if some of the passengers would help get others on the plane and their carry-on stowed. Never heard such a thing.
What fresh Hell is this?
